Typo

It all started with a typo:

Nooks and grannies

It became

Books and grannies

Which seemed reasonable

But not in a tree

Then it went

Hooks and grannies 

Rather sinister grannies

Or poor grannies

From there it was only a step 

Fools and grannies

Grannies are well known 

For not suffering them, really

How do I know ?

I'm one of them!

It went all downhill 

Boobs and grannies

Gravity is not a conversation topic

When one reaches a certain age

Take it for granted

To change the subject

Cooks and grannies

Now I know a few cooks

That could take lessons from grannies

That is all I will say

Poops and grannies 

Grannies on deck 

Fine but not in trees.

Sooks and grannies 

You always get one of them around grannies 

More than one and you got problems

Tools and grannies

Even knitting needles have been known

To be a most useful tool

In the gnarled hands of grannies

Cool and grannies

Some grannies have been known

To lose their cool unfortunately !
