Colourful

By Pernille Hughes

If Granny’s from Jamaica,

And Grandad’s from Japan,

And Nanna’s from Tasmania,

And Gramps’ from Kazakhstan…

If my parents met in Mali,

and married in Timbuktu,

and if I was born in Swaziland,

but now live in Peru…

If I’m a chip off the old block,

which one would that be?

My life is touched by all of them,

so what does that make me?
