Don’t ever leave your grandson
Alone at your computer,
Next time you try to use it,
You might require a tutor!

I saw a turtle
In a shell,
It seemed to fit him
Very well.

Now I just wonder,
D’you suppose
That I can buy me
One of those?

What are the colors
One can choose?
Do they make them in
Reds or blues?

I asked the turtle
If he knew,
Where I could buy me
A shell too.

He didn’t have too
Much to say.
He looked at me and
Sped away.

With age a constant reminder,
Poor eyesight and glasses a must;
They came through the mail just today…
My heavens! Just look at the dust!

My glasses must be the problem,
I’ve not seen that much dust before.
So now I’ll take off my glasses
Before I come in the front door!

I think is kinda neat.
I always get to sit up front
And get a window seat.

For his wife who’d passed away.
He felt sorry for the preacher,
Hunting for nice things to say.

When the sky abruptly darkened,
Thunder and lightning filled the air.
He said as they ran for shelter,
“Well, at least we know she got there!”
