Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!
Granny Granny Please Comb My Hair
Granny Granny please comb my hair
you always take your time
you always take such care
You put me on a cushion between your knees
you rub a little coconut oil
parting gentle as a breeze
Mummy Mummy
she's always in a hurry-hurry
rush
she pulls my hair
sometimes she tugs
But Granny
you have all the time
in the world
and when you're finished
you always turn my head and say,
'Now who's a nice girl?'
