I Love My Nan
god bless her
my old nan,
she's blind as a bat
and 91,
she has a dog called
winni the wisp,
he's got no teeth
and barks with a lisp,
they both cant see me
when i'm there,
my nan the dog they
have no hair,
hey nan i'm going
to make us some tea,
she passed the remote
for the tv,
no nan i'm making a brew,
a nice cup of tea
for me and you.
she's sat there talking
to the settee,
laughing and joking
while i make the tea.
the dog is barking
at the floor,
he thinks he's sat
at the front door.
whats wrong with
the dog nan,
he's looking sad,
dont worry dear he's
going mad.
what with nan
and winni the same,
both barking mad
and totally insane,
i'm going home nan
its time to go,
as she struggles
to reach the floor.
from the settee
to the door,
its about 9foot 4,
ive been waiting
an hour she aint
reached the door.
the dogs gone in
the opposite way,
looking for nan
what can i say,
god bless them both
i'm on my way.
