Grandma

 

 

 

This silly old woman

Shaking

On the edge

Of a loose-covers chair

 

With her dry red cheeks

And her

Chemical hair

 

This batty old woman

My Mum

 

Gripping the photos

One by one

 

Struggling not to frown

 

This is your granddaughter

This is your grandson

 

But you're holding

The bloody things

Upside down!
