Bait and Switch

You might remember I have a grandson of ten

I care for him more than “now and then”

Today I received the usual request

Could you take — as your guest?

Early, had texted, asking if there were any plans

So, if included I wouldn’t be caught with my pants

Down, so to speak.  

I try to be chic.

So asked, Is this the old bait and switch?

I’m familiar with this type of ditch.

She answered, Is it working?

A headache began lurking.

Yes, it’s okay, I’m tired today

He’ll just be happy to play

A game that he can win

Or if the wind stops, take a spin.

He likes to go with me to the recycle bin

We drop off a bag in the dumpster of tin

It makes him feel special to help

A task that may make others yelp.

This rhyming is getting a little much

Think I may be losing my touch.
