Dill Pickle

Granny's Name Game

Teresa Mahieu
She knew she came from Martianville,
After all her name was Dill.

Though she never really understood,
Why granny always called her Pickle.

She supposed that it could be,
Because she preferred the lime popsicles.

Granny knew she came from Martianville,
After all she named her Dill.

    Grannies are sweet and my granny used to play this kinda name game a lot. 'Dil", here means heart and what a lovely name she gave. Pickle is sweeter.
