Granny
Granny - meaning Summary
Wind's Comic Invasion
This short comic poem describes a relentless wind that intrusively batteres a household and, above all, a grandmother. Through playful exaggeration and repeating images, the wind invades personal spaces and causes mild chaos—toppling a steeple, displacing wigs, and disturbing clergy—while the narrator insists Granny suffers most. The poem balances absurdity and affectionate teasing to create a light, humorous portrait of vulnerability and domestic disruption.
Read Complete AnalysesThrough every nook and every cranny The wind blew in on poor old Granny Around her knees, into each ear (And up her nose as well, I fear) All through the night the wind grew worse It nearly made the vicar curse The top had fallen off the steeple Just missing him (and other people) It blew on man, it blew on beast It blew on nun, it blew on priest It blew the wig off Auntie Fanny- But most of all, it blew on Granny!
