I saw Granny standing on the side, of the road-
She was at the Mardi Gras parade, and looking to get her a load.
.
The beads were so beautiful, and she did give her best try-
But, for some reason or another, she didn’t get any beads yet,
and didn’t know why.
.
She hollered ‘throw me somethin’ mister’, and that did no good-
She put up her hands, as everyone, at the parade should.
.
She finally gave up and figured that in regards, to any beads,
she would get none-
For she hadn’t acquired one yet, and the parade was about done.
.
She raised her hand up to scratch her head, and out of nowhere-
A gorgeous gold, purple, and green bead wrapped around her pinkie,
right in the midst, of her hair.
.
Granny had finally gotten what she had came for, and she was
so proud-
As she wore her bead, in the midst, of the Mardi Gras crowd.
.
I saw Granny standing on the side, of the road-
She was at the Mardi Gras parade, and looking to get her a load.

3. She was not 80 years old.
===========================
But, at age 51, did not age well-
As all of the use, of those drugs, and
alcohol can tell.
