​blog: You'll Never Be Quite the Same

Fiona's first Grandma poem

            I have not yet been given the go-ahead to post any Fiona news to Facebook. I’m also avoiding any posts of her dear little elfin face until Nellie and Mike have done their own social media announcing. Who knew it would be so hard not to plaster the world with her image and sing her welcome from the rooftops! Rest assured, pictures will come.
        I should have been grading papers or tracking down endnote references this afternoon. Instead, I played with words, one of my favorite activites. Here is some light-hearted drivel that I composed in honor of my new granddaughter:
           
I’d like to intone a
few words of Fiona,
this girl who has grown a
wee bit since I’ve known ‘ah.
 
If you said you’d loan a
big house in Sedona
or that I could own a
whole state – Arizona!
 
I’d only say, “no, nah,
just let me be shone a
few peeks at Fiona,
our new Lisa Mona.”
