My Granny [rude warning]
By Katanga
29 July 2008


For Paula again - for relevance, please see her excellent 'My Nanny'.

Cheers!

My Granny

My dearly beloved old granny
Had cobwebs spun in her fanny.
From deep up inside her
She pulled out a spider -
And went on the road with your nanny.

That is fantastic. the images that come to mind are rather disturbing though!
Punchy!

Cheers! 
 
The idea comes from a Marianne Faithful song on her brilliant 'Broken English' album. Know it? 
 
There's a really vicious pair of lines that have always stuck in my mind, about an elderly middle-class do-gooder: 
 
"She's got cobwebs up her fanny 
And a belief in giving to the poor." 
 
Strong stuff, eh? 
 
Cheers! More to come? 
 
Hope so!

Tolstoy - you're disturbed.

Funny, but definitely disturbed. 
Cheers
Disturbed?

Ha! Ha! You don't know the half of it! 
 
I can do 'disturbed', but I'd need to share a bottle of J.D. (or equivalent!) with you first . . .  
 
Cheers!

I'd imagine many grannies are a little cobwebby in the nether regions. My granny is too house proud to allow any of that. She'd be mortified to find anything silky down there - utility cotton underwear or struppetdom. 
 
Enjoyed.

Haha. I thought it was funny.  
I like how the title made you think of one thing and the actual poem was different. 
But it was a little creepy though.  
But very funny.  
Loved it.
