Fitzgerald #2 - Grandmother's Days and Ways

Remembrance recalls my grandmother’s days and ways

Apron of gingham tied over her dress
Crisp, starched white for Sundays
Lemon drops in the pockets

In the rooms that were hers, I learned to learn
From the lips of one who listened
At eighty-five, she said the ballet lessons I taught made her a little stiff
