Nanna is a Yodeller

Nanna is a Yodeller

 

My nanna she could yodel it was her special turn.
When she went out for a drink to yodel she would yearn.

 

She never travelled very far,
only to where she could reach by car.

 

The Alps was far out of her reach,
her yodelling for to teach
Instead she went up to the school,
to teach them yodelling as a tool.

 

The local sheep just stood and stared,
when at first the yodelling they heard.
Soon enough they understood.
That they should move as quickly as they could.

 

At the agricultural college, 
they decided to increase their knowledge.
Off to Switzerland they all flew,
so that they could learn to yodel too.

My grandma likes to tell stories. What a piece of remembrance Taylor, it has humor, nostalgia, and happiness all wrapped in one. I like how your pieces resonate - even if it is subtly - with a hint of happiness at every corner. Makes reading them that much more enjoyable.

Dash it all! I could've sent FUN BUS HQ's latest arrival Princess pusscat to Switzerland to tune-up on her yodeling.
Jolly Gina insisted on going (1st class!!- cost the earth). Though can you imagine the ruckus Gina would have kicked up if I'd sent Princess instead? OK reader, cheap pussy airfare vs a woman's wrath? What's a poor guy to do?

Yodelooayoo

Take it away Frankie...

One of our favourite family jokes:

Knock knock!

Who's there?

A little old lady.

A little old lady who?

Cool, I didn't know you could yodel.

This is great! ??

As soon as I read the title I thought of the song "Hocus Pocus" by Dutch prog group Focus. Check it out if you want a weird start to Saturday...
