Ma Brown's by Gerard J. St. John Wednesday, May 31, 2006 Rated "G" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan
A small, tin-roofed shed Perched between two rows of houses, One-half block before the school, A refuge for the young. A simple wooden counter, Candy and long pretzel sticks, Yellow mustard and a worn paintbrush, The objects of our attention. Ma Brown � the spittin� image of my grandmother, Thin, wrinkled, gray hair pulled back, Stays aloof from the young customers Lest she give away the store.
