I can see my grandma knitting,
Clicking, clacking quickly,
Making sweaters as she watches,
Sudsers made so slickly.
In that house were treasures,
Lemon drops in dishes,
And nonpariels in cupboards,
Chocolate-smelling wishes.
She taught us hemming on her table,
And how to make a dart,
Squaring handkerchiefs of white,
Her lessons she'd impart.
She'd tisk at schoolgirls' dresses short,
And make us homemade treats,
Grandma's house was a haven,
The best house on the street.
