Prompt-2003-Scuffle

When my grandson visits

He gets the fidgets

While watching a movie 

Or even eating.

He is restless I see

He’d rather play with me.

I’m talking cards or games

Both of them tame

His squirming in a chair

And to be fair

I like playing with him

Adjusting to whims

He sometimes cheats

In cards to defeat

His old grandma.

So I don’t let him shuffle

Since he engaged a scuffle

And says, “52 pickup”.

Without a hiccup

He throws the cards.

Since I put up my guard

I’m now more aware

If he wants to play cards

His shuffling is barred.
