Grandma's Glasses Nalini Sorensen I love my grandma From her hair to her toes, But what I love the most Sits at the tip of her nose. You see my grandma uses glasses, 0000 She needs them to read, They hang around her neck... "Let me try them," I plead. 5 "No dear," comes her quick reply, "You'll spoil your eyes, Glasses are important, And can't be tried for size." What are glasses for?  Grandma calls them her specs, I think that sounds so funny, She says they are meant for her eyes only, And cost a lot of money. I run into grandma's room, There they are, right on her bed, I just have to try them, /.19. Never mind what grandma said. I quickly sit them on my nose, And everything looks blurry, I look at our cat, He seems less furry! I can hear footsteps, Someone's coming in! I take them off, quickly, And run out with a grin. And then there's my grandpa, He says, "My eyes are just fine." He brings in the newspaper, And can't read a line. "Arrrgh!" says he, "It must be the light," Though we all know for sure, He has poor eyesight. Why doesn't grandpa like glasses? I think they are super cool, If I could only get a pair, I'd wear them to my school.  I speak to my mama, But she shakes her head, She takes me and buys me Sunglasses instead! r}' How are glasses different from sunglasses? Now I'm really happy, As happy as can be, I call them my shades, They're the best, don't you agree? And when they slipdown, To the tip of my nose, I look just like my grandma, From my head to my toes. Source:This is an edited and adapted version of Nani's Glasses, written by Nalini Sorensen.
