That's My "Nana"
by Jim Stewart c 2009

My Grandma
What a wonderful lady.
She taught me how to shoot the finger
When I was five years old.
Yeah, That was my Nana.
All of five feet tall and 160 pounds.
She was full of piss and vinegar.
But a loving, giving and caring soul.

She was Boy Scout Leader at 69
When asked about this she would say
"I can piss in the woods with the boys,
The girls always want a Potty."
Yeah, That was my Nana.

She was pregnant at the age of fifty
She didn't know it.
She went to the emergency room for constipation
And went home with my Aunt Diane.
I would have liked to have seen My Grandpa's face
When she told him.
You did What?
Yeah, That's my Nana.

Ever Caring
Ever loving
Ever giving
Ever adventurous
Ever understanding
Thank you for letting me be your heir apparent.
Nana

That's My Nana
