Occasionally in pictures which
Have nothing to do with her I find
My grandfather's second wife
Fanny. She looks implacable;
Having made her way into the photo
She'll not be gotten rid of. In time
People will say "Oh, that must be Dora
Or Hepzibah or could it be Elinor
Who put on a few pounds once Al died?"
They'll be wrong, though; I know Fanny
When I see her. My mother told me
In our last conversation "Fanny
Was very hard on me but then I
Was not an easy child to raise."
