Rebecca's grandmother
was a singular woman–
trim rather than heavy
like women who baked
and cooked in her
neighborhood.  She was
good at denying something
she'd done, without cracking
a smile.  If a grandchild's
plans were foiled, leaving
them to mope around
like a wilted flower,
Rebecca's grandmother
triumphed by employing
her dry sense of humor
to get them laughing.  Kids
came 'round to watch 
her stretch dough to near
transparency from end 
to end of an enormous
oval table.  Rebecca's
grandmother was a singular
woman, whose exploits
and tales endure to this day.
