Going To Market With Nan

On Saturday mornings it always was the same

my Nan would say come Chris we are going down the lane

I would fret want to go to the bathroom but she'd drag me out again

knowing what a powder keg she was and thought her rather insane

 

It did not matter how big they were she had ***** of steel

if someone crossed her path they would come off ill

I was mortified by her temper, my word but she was strong

I have seen her throw hard men right over my head and they were gone

 

Now at this not so tender age I am

now I understand who I am

just another dangerous creature

like my sweet old Nan
