Grandmas Snack

Grandmas Snack

Grandmas long hair, nearly touching the ground
It's where my siblings gathered around
She'd give us hugs, hugs so tight
We would welcome them with great delight

On the porch we would sit
It was hard to be patient, I would admit
Do you want a banana, we would say yes
Eating carefully not to make a mess

Them bananas taste so great
I knew I wanted more, maybe eight
Slowly chewing making it last
Wanted time to slow down, not so fast

I'd give all my money for all it is worth
Grandmas bananas were the best on earth
