Grandma Said
Grandma’s blueberry muffins so fancy and fine.
With your crumbled crust, so glad you are mine!
Grubby hands are reaching for a muffin now.
Hands that have pet a goat, a dog, and the cow.
I tell them to go wash their hands instead.
They look at me like I have grown a monkey’s head.
Grandma said we didn’t have to, said a nasty little tike.
A cousin that I’ve never liked, I call him Mike.
Grandma yells in from the living room door.
Just give each a cupcake, my dear Eleanor.
I did not wash my hands either, to get the last one.
Getting one from batch number two is not as much fun.
