Granny is (Valerie Bloom)
Granny is
stories in the moonlight
underneath the guangu tree
and a spider web of magic
all round we.
Granny say,
‘Only de best fe de gran’children,
it don’t matter what de price,
don’t want no one pointin’ finger’
Granny nice
Granny is
fried dumplin’ an’run-dung
coconut drops an’ grater cake,
fresh coffee smell in the mornin’
when we wake
Granny is
loadin’ up the donkey
basket full on market day
with fresh snapper the fishermen bring back
from the bay
Granny is
clothes washin’ in the river
scrubbin’ dirt out on the stone
haulin’ crayfish an’ eel from water
on her own.

Old Meg (John Keats)
Old Meg she was a Gipsy,And liv'd upon the Moors:Her bed it was the brown heather turf,And her house was out of doors.
Her Brothers were the craggy hills,Her Sisters larchen trees -Alone with her great familyShe live'd as she did please
No breakfast had she many a morn,No dinner many a noon,And 'stead of supper she would stareFull hard against the Moon.
But every morn she was freshShe made her garlanding,And every night the old Meg satShe wove, and she would sing.
And with her fingers old and brownShe plaited mats o' Rushes,And gave them to the CottagersShe met among the Bushes.
Traditional Gypsy
People for whom being free to travel was (is) a very important part of their lives. Traditionally such people earned their living by natural crafts, fortune telling and manual labor.
But every morn she was freshShe made her garlanding,And every night the old Meg satShe wove, and she would sing.
