Grandma round for tea

By Stephanie Sideways

"Lets eat, grandma!"Said the man with a grin.
He squeezed her bony hand in despair
"I know what I fancy for dinner today"
They peered inside, all the cupboard was bare

He squeezed her bony hand in despair
"I'm hungry" Said he." I could kill for a bite"
They peered. Inside all the cupboard was bare?
But he knew he had gran for dinner tonight?

"I'm hungry" he said. "I could kill for a bite"
Gran now no more in ignorant bliss!
He knew he had gran for dinner tonight
The cauldron did bubble, and whistle and hiss

Gran. Now no more. In ignorant bliss
She'd struggle much less now the knife was in.
The cauldron did bubble, and whistle and hiss
"Lets eat grandma" Said the man, with a grin.

An old Alfred Hitchcock tale I believe it was, about an Englishman who went out and chopped down a tree each day just before noon time. When he went to the grocer, all he bought was chutney! Seems he was eating his wife, piecemeal. Reminded me of that bit, cheers and bon apetit!
