| GRANDPA'S FRIENDS
by Mary Ellen Smith Grandpa's friends are old and smelly, some of them are Mostly belly. None of them can see too good, I think their teeth are made of wood. Grandpa's friends have lots of wrinkles. When they smile Their faces crinkle. I'm afraid they're gonna break How much crinkling can they take? Grandpa's friends have knobby fingers. When they pass Gas it really lingers. I like to look at their hairy ears and the Way the chair molds to their rears. Grandpa's friends have lots of worries, I can tell just from Their stories. Aches and pains and bending backs and the High price of cigarette packs. Grandpa's friends are fun to talk to They laugh real loud the way that I do. They give me Lifesavers and gum and they don't yell when I act dumb. Grandpa's friends walk with walkers Or sit on the porch and rock in rockers. I sit and watch the things they do Someday I'll be someone's grandpa's friend too. |
