Virginia Graham on TV
I turn TV on at 12 o’clock
To watch Virginia on Girl Talk
I sit down & settle comfee
& Have my cup of coffee with me. —
Sometimes I smile & nod my head.
Again, I nash my teeth instead.
A coffee cup critic that is me. —
Cuz I just can’t always agree
I enjoy the women you have with you.
They’re like me, with a difference or 2.
