Those Were Better Times Good Times Being Around My Grands- -

"Those were better times. Good times! Being round my grands… It reminds me of my grandparents; Grandma, baba, ouma, bomma grandmother; Love to read poems sing them ole time songs; So much love they given each of us; Those were better times. Good times! Being round my grands… Yet they were stern Great teachers taught my parents as will as me to learn; They listened to a Motorola on a tall stand; Nonna would play a little ditty on the “baby grand” Oh! And Gran made fried pies on Sundays; Those were better times. Good times! Being round my grands… We would have with our dinner; Homemade chicken soup, meatloaf and cabbage loaf; My grandpa and his friends would sit outside talkN loud While listening to the ballgame on a transmitter radio; The ladies would settle in the den; Nesting caressing darning with patch qulits using needles and tread; Joyously giggling laughing while lovingly talkN bout them men; Those were better times. Good times! Being round my grands…" 1/4/20 Written words by Genysis DMaurier & James Edward Lee Sr. 2020© A dedicated verse to Genysis DMaurier based on words from Genysis to a e-mail to me
