Oh Granny

Oh granny oh granny what shall we do
You’ve put bananas in your stew
A dirty lampshade you wear as a hat
And you’re talking to the old stuffed cat

Oh granny oh granny what shall we do
You can’t go out in a pink tutu
The Wellington boots and cycling shorts
Are not the things a granny sports

Oh granny oh granny what shall we do 
I’ve  grown so very fond of you
You’ve been here since I was a pup
Now I’m afraid they’ll lock you up

Oh granny oh granny what have you done
I know you think you’re having fun
But throwing eggs at a policeman, well!
You’re going to wind up in a cell 

Oh granny oh granny, alright ok
Looks like you’ve gone and got your way
Pack your bags, don’t make a fuss
You’re going to come and live with us

This is one more exciting granny. I was thinking of being more conservative myself and wear a red hat with my new purple suit. Don't you think that I'd be cute? I love this one. Is this life's experience or just from observing people around you? Keep writing. Sara

I loved the humor you put in this. I wonder if I'll still be laughing if and when I get that way. Thank you for sharing John and thank you for entering my Funny Spooks contest. Love, Carol
