In loving memory of my grandmother...and maybe yours too.
A re-write of a previous version.
A co-write with fellow Frettie member, Bobby Armes.
Thank you Bobby!

Chicken's cackle
Transistor static
Hot pot of decaf
And butter pecan
Sawdust driveway
Leftovers in the microwave
Bourbon cabinet
Grandpa on a ladder
You got Shirley Temple, Katharine Hepburn, on that old black & white t.v.
Quilts in the livin' room, Chanel sweet perfume, and your - dancin' feet
So here's to [you], Rice Krispies,
Feelin' young, 29 forever
To [yellow] roses, flowered sheets
And makin' home into heaven
You [taught] me all 'bout [doin'] right, and all ‘bout bein' true
And [all] your pearls of wisdom, startin' with, that golden rule
So [thank] you Gram, for all you are and do - here's to you
Forty-five records
Handwritten letters
Apples in milk crates
Ice [cold] lemonade
Packs of licorice
Family photos on the fridge
Yellow scribble pads
Cheese [in] a rat trap
You got Crosswords on the table,
Old book ‘bout Cain and Abel,
Cake coolin' on the counter
Lovin'-up your grandkids was your - superpower
So here's to you-
Fried chicken, Bloomingdale's and dancin' crazy
Figurines, 8-track machines and all the best of Dean and Sammy
And [something] else you [probably] never thought, or never knew But I [think] all my best parts of me, well, they came from you
One [day] I'm hopin’ to [have] some grandkids too
And I'll [pay] it forward, all that [love] I got from you
When the Lord [calls] me home, I'll [look] for you -
-Here's to you
