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.
It only rhymes too much when you get to page three and realise you have forgotten what you were writing about.
