Grandchildren

Did you say grandchildren are coming to stay

Hold on to your hats we’re all going to play

Up with the lark I’m ready to roll

“Wake up Grandbob I want to play ball”

And line up the cars and tuck them in tight

“Granny bob are you up for a water fight?”

And food did you say snack

Im definitely up for that

“And what do you mean you can’t fit in that hole

Or slide down the slide or scale up that pole?

And why can’t I pour water all over the floor

You find it funny so I’ll do it some more

Come on Gbobs run faster than that

Oh dear butterfingers you missed a straight catch

I’m bored what can I do now please

And fairies don’t really live in the trees”

But yes I like snuggles and stories and treats

And you’re the very best Gbob I’ll ever meet

And at the end of the day when they all go to bed

We recall the days treasures and what we all said

And we pour a much needed tonic with gin

Rest our feet up and fall asleep with a grin
