She is the One Said Grandma
Em was a throwback to the seventies, no lie.
wearing her flower power dress, pretty to the eye.
Her white go go boots said Nancy Sinatra up and down.
She was the prettiest girl in our weird little town.
She’s the one, his grandma told him, go over and say ‘hi”.
Of course, Sammy could not do it, he was ever-loving shy.
Em found him and came over, lured by his happy face tie.
What do you do for fun? She asked. He could barely meet her eye.
His grandma took over and helped him, her name was Little Di.
He’s a pharmacist, she said ‘but he knows how to make girls cry.”
I don’t doubt that said Em, she was beautiful without any kind of try.
Luckily she and grandma figured out they both liked this shy guy.
