Granny
Through every nook and every cranny
The wind blew in on poor old Granny;
Around her knees, into each ear
(And up her nose as well, I fear).
All through the night the wind grew worse,
It nearly made the vicar curse.
The top had fallen off the steeple
Just missing him (and other people).
It blew on man; it blew on beast.
It blew on nun; it blew on priest.
It blew the wig off Auntie Fanny —
But most of all, it blew on Granny!
Spike Milligan
I think that this is a very funny poem. I like how every two lines it rhymes and there is excellent repetition in the last stanza. Also, this wind must be hurricane grade because it knocked off the top of the steeple. This poem also gives lots of description on how the wind blew on ‘poor old Granny’.
I’m a big fan of Spike Milligan! Great poem, but now I’m a granny myself, I’m not so sure about it- not that I’m, ‘ a poor old granny.’ 🙂
I like your widgets by the way. Just saw my location pop up on the Revolver!
Thanks for the complement ! I got the idea of the Revolver off of someone else’s blog. Also, Most of our class’s blog has Clustermaps.
