By Miriam Erasmus
When I grow old I’m going to be a Granny busy knitting,
Making jerseys by the dozen for my children every day.
I’ll go shopping every Thursday, ‘cos that’s when I get my pension,
And I’ll help out at the jumble sales for the local charities.
I’ll spend lots of time gossiping and telling all my neighbours
That my newest little grandchild is the best one in the world.
I’ll be helping all my children raise their children to be good ones.
I’ll do lots of babysitting while they join the social whirl.
’Cos I’m .. A Grandma !
