Graffiti Grannies
Graffiti grannies they are very canny
they never get caught
but their skills are highly sought
they spin a yarn knit and sow
There cover never gets blown
Statues get covered
As do park benches and poles
Even Chinese boulders
Well I suppose we all need something to do when we get older.

Once in a land faraway
Once in land far away
Was a woman
she knelt to pray
She prayed for a child who could be
The key to a new dawn of ages

Her diamond ,glowing bright in the sky

you make stories
You make stories your clever
you bind the lines together
stories written last forever
we are making stories its fun
stories that make us whole
stories that make us one
we make stories from day one
everybody has a story to tell
from the birth of the earth
to the gates of heaven
to the depths of hell
everyone has a story to tell!
