Nan's Cans (Contest!)

You guys don't even understand.

Our Nan is the cutest sweetest most perfect little old 

(slightly nutty) 

Grandma lady you will ever meet.

She cooks. She bakes. She memorizes poetry. 

She visits all the other little old ladies who are older than she is and serves them.

She is tiny, with bright eyes, strong hands, and that perfectly white fluffy Grandma hair.

Her voice is sweet and soothing, and slides up unevenly to every note 

of the hymns she sings as she does her housework.

She's polite and proper and thoughtful, and then, 

when you are young and talking with your sister and shut up quick when Nan comes in
because you were laughing about flatulence,
she looks out to the horizon and calmly recites:

Wherever you go, wherever you be, 

Be sure to let the wind blow free!

And when you visit her, she never lets you go home empty-handed.

Several years ago she'd sent me home with some questionable canned food:

Love you, Nan, forever and always!
