Oh Grandma

May 1, 2024
By Anonymous

Cooking is the way of Grandma's love

Smelling the dense warm doughy aroma

it follows me around like a small dove

Dives me deeper into her persona

 

Cold cheese placed against her sweaty hands

The nutty smell of Swiss makes mouth water

A handful to my mouth is where it lands

She smacks my hand and tells me don't bother

 

Cutting the dough on the floured counter

Letting the water heat to a boil

With a mouthful of greedy cheese encounter

Downing all the Knuffell so none spoils

 

Grandma these moments mean so much to me

These moments we share are worth the slap fees
