How she slowly leaned and rose—long ago.

Grandma’s hair was bright and sunny,

Dimpled cheeks, too, oh, how funny!

Really quite a pretty girl—long ago.

Bless her! why, she wears a cap,

Grandma does and takes a nap

Every single day: and yet

Grandma danced the minuet—long ago.

“Modern ways are quite alarming,”

Grandma says, “but boys were charming”
