Granny Granny Please Comb My Hair

Grace Nichols

Granny, Granny!!
Please comb my hair.

You always take your time,
You always take such care.

You put me to sit on a cushion
Between your knees;
You rub a little coconut oil,
Parting gentle as a breeze.

… 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?”
