Grandma - a poem

[wendy]

I spotted this in our local WI newsletter - thought it might amuse and/or strike a chord

Grandma by Marion Bingham

We’re very concerned about Grandma
She’s giving us reason to fret.
Instead of just cosily knitting
She spends all her time on the net.

She talks endlessly about modems
And something called a mega bite
And it seems that her house is now ruled by a mouse,
At her age it just isn’t right.

She does all her shopping on ebay
She says you get things for a song
But we’re carefully eyeing the things that she’s buying
Well, what does she want with a thong.

Bur it seems she’s got a new toyboy
They communicate daily by text
She calls him darling Murray and out biggest worry
Is what Grandma’s going to do next.

I’m sure you can see our dilemma,
Still, soon it sher birthday to come
And we’re hoping and praying she’ll stop her web playing
When she reaches a hundred and one!

That's so lovely!

The first three verses fit me to a "T" ;D

Reminds me of my Mum, she bought her first motorbike when she retired and was a grandma.

ROCK ON OLD GUYS NEVER SAY DIE
JEST KEEP ON SPENDING THE KIDS INHERITANCE
ON ROMAS AND ALL SORT OF THINGS
KEEP ON ENJOYING WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY AND SING

JEST BECAUSE WE HAVE SOME RINKLES
JEST BECAUSE WE HAVE A FEW GRAY HAIRS
JEST BECAUSE THEY THINK WE ARE PAST IT
WHAT OH WHY SHOULD WE CARE
JEST BECAUSE WE HAVE A SIGN ON THE BACK OF
OUR CAMPERS
THAT SAYS TRAVELING ON KIDS INHERETENCE
AH YOU SAY THAT IS THE WHY, AND THE REASON
WHY THEY DON'T LIKE IT
AND SAY WE SHOULD ALL GROW UP
AND GROW OLD GRACEFULLY, AND FIND A HOBY OR TWO.
AS FOR ME AND MY WIFE THE ABOVE IS ALL TRUE
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THAT FOR YOU.
