I remember vividly that smell.
I used to pin curl my grandma's hair every now and then.

Mum used to do my great grandma's
With those papers that look like Rizzlas.
And all the women would put their engagement rings in the glass bowl with the lotion to bring up the stones.

Her hair was like wire so it never used to take very well.
My mum reckons I'm going to turn into my paternal grandma. I can't wait to flash my knickers at the priest.

Grandma was dead sweet
But she said false teeth, earrings, rouge and ESPECIALLY lipstick were all for vanity.

My grandma looked like an old bulldyke.
But in skirts that were too short, hence the knicker flashing.
