Recollecting Big Granny

by

Judith Miller

We smelled mothballs from your room
with its highly polished floor,
As we peeked into your sanctuary
behind your private door.

We noticed well-drawn curtains
with no light the whole day through,
Was this the way you stopped the wind,
from its daily talks with you?

Convinced you were a witch,
my heart went "Kaboom"
When your fancy-dress came
with a black hat and a broom.

This provided the proof
of your very worst side -
I admired you for thinking
you'd nothing to hide!

But Granny you still had the
best pair of legs,
And that noble proud look though
life threw you some dregs.

So "Thank You, Granny,
for cooking for me",
(Even though we laugh
at the odd recipe)

Those swimming green curries
and stew everyday
You impacted our lives
in a funny old way!
