THE JOYS OF BEING A GRANDMOTHER
My little grandson’s a sweetie
He comes up and stands by my knees!.
Then he snuggles closely beside me
And gives me a kiss and a squeeze!.
He stays, his face pressed up to me!.
“Dink-nana” is his plaintive cry!.
“Nana’s busy my little angel
I’ll get you a drink bye-and-bye”
My reply bounces off unheeded
He raises his little voice up!.
“DINK-NANA” His eyes command me!.
“No” I say “You’ve just had a cup!.
A bellow of DINK-DINK-DINK-DINK
From a face a few inches from mine!.
Results in my final refusal!.
(I’m not leaping up all the time)!.
“If you keep interrupting, Nana
I’ll never get this poem written
I’m sorry, but that’s life, be patient!.
I know!. Go and play with the kitten”!.
This doesn’t actually deter him
This child is made of stern stuff
After the twentieth time of asking
I surrender, I’ve had quite enough!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
