Premiere Contest WinnerMy Google Granny

(to the tune of "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" from the musical "Mary Poppins")

When grandma got her mobile phone At first she struggled so, But when she reached new milestone She couldn’t let it go. She face-timed everyone all day In her town and abroad; She simply had a lot to say, Got neither vexed or bored. Chorus: MY GOOGLEGRANNYSNAPCHATCRAZYINSTAGRAMANDTWITTER Days and nights on internet Have made her fast and witty. No more home-made cakes and pies And that is quite a pity! GOOGLEGRANNYSNAPCHATCRAZYINSTAGRAMANDTWITTER I did bend backwards, so to speak, To get my grandma back, But she got mad, called me a freak - Gave me a hearty whack. When Gran Aid Services arrived She played cool and proper; She lied and said that I contrived One big, blatant whopper. Chorus: MY GOOGLEGRANNYSNAPCHATCRAZYINSTAGRAMANDTWITTER Days and nights on internet Have made her fast and witty. No more home-made cakes and pies And that is quite a pity! GOOGLEGRANNYSNAPCHATCRAZYINSTAGRAMANDTWITTER But then I got a simple plan – An eye goes for an eye. Although easier said than done I baked an apple pie. I made a cake and cookies too, A cup of tea as well, Before my selfish granny knew, I ate it all myself. Chorus: MY GOOGLEGRANNYSNAPCHATCRAZYINSTAGRAMANDTWITTER Days and nights on internet Have made her fast and witty. No more cakes and pies for her, And that is quite a pity!
