Grandmother's Advice
by mazHur


Today is my grandmother's anniversary
And I relish the reminiscences of her kind love.
How she would tell me to clean hands before meals;
Do my homework regularly;.
Brush my teeth before going to bed;
That I shouldn't pull my younger sister's hair;
Not to fight with her over her dolls;
Keep my dirty shoes off the carpet;
Oh, Grandma, how sweet you were!
When I grew up and was completing
my graduation,
You said, boy, if you wanna marry,
marry a lassie with small hands;
Surprisingly I looked at her and asked,
Grandma, what's so special about it?
'Well', said she, ''You were born underweight,
hardly 5 pounds and this has left you weaker
and smaller'',
So, when you marry, marry a lassie with small hands,
That's my advice to you, my sonny,
You arn't grown as large enough
As women with large hands normally grow;
So, If you marry, marry a lassie with small hands
so that the small thing may look large ! ""
