Grandma's Stories
Alright everyone, quiet please!
May I tell a tale, I have the perfect story!
Well then sit....cause I'm going to....
Pull up a chair, or on the floor, that will do.
I'm elderly now as things are reckoned,
and I may just forget in the next second.
So hurry up! Find a seat. Be quiet and listen…
I'll begin when I have your full attention.
Bring me some water to wet my whistle.
I sure do get dry when I say a mouth full.
Thank you, my boy! Hey, are you my grandson?
Well, quickly, sit down since I haven't begun.
Where is the girl who made these treats?
I'll just have one while you settle your seats.
A cup of tea would not go a miss…
the bitter with sweet is hard to resist.
Now as I was saying…what was that my dear?
Let me turn up this aide so I can hear.
Tell you a story?
That's why your all sittin’ round me?
Well I'll have to think of one…now, let me see…”
