Today he calls me ‘grand-ma’,
My hair as white as snow,
But that’s not what he called me
Near fifty year ago;
My curls a fiery tangle,
My skin a slick of sweat,
My lover riding bare-back
And we just only met!
When next you’re with your grand-ma,
Try closing half an eye,
Smooth out the wrinkled creases,
Add lipstick on the sly,
Imagine fiery tresses,
Imagine there’s no dress!
Then save your pity, dearie —
Been there — done that. Oh yes!
