Here is a tribute to those beautiful girls called “Grandma.” Stephen Sondheim composer from Follies.
“Nature never fashioned
A flower so fair.
No rose can compare-
Nothing respectable
Half so delectable.
Cheer them
In their glory,
Diamonds and pearls,
Dazzling jewels
By the score.
This is what beauty can be.
Beauty celestial,
The best, you’ll
Agree:
All for you,
These beautiful girls!”
