ODE TO GRANT STREET SHOPPIES

Grant St, the perfect place
For you to shop
Any Merkincher can reach
With just a hop

Joan and Javid keep us fed
Trevor Nicol provides us with
Plenty bargains, duvets for our bed
Forbes the chemist just the
Place to run there when ill is
Truly common place

Hair too long, just go to Ann’s
A trim she will provide
Next door we have Mr cheap cheap
Plenty Joviality , bargains on the side

Feeling hungry go to Charlie’s chip shop
What an inexpensive feed you’ll get
For the rest of the day a lunch
from him will keep you really set

and a night out Nip Inn’s just the place
You’ll certainly go home with
A smile upon your face

So Grant St. a treasure to us all
George Rodger, he’s been selling
papers for oh! So many years
One thing about him, he’s always on the ball

If you’re really naughty!
And fallen down from grace
McGuiness Fraser Solicitors Grant St.
Will put you back in place

Joan in her post office
Busy selling stamps
Want a giro cashed, one’s only got to ask
The queue she’s got each Monday quite a Daunting task!

So all in all, what can I say
Grant Street’s a luxury near to stay
