Grandma's Flown The Coop! |

Has anyone here seen grandma Weve been searching high and low It's time she joined the senior's home But she doesn't want to go She packed up all her make-up Paid her botox bill in full Her kids think she should act her age She thinks that that's bull! Her hair salon is worried Her dye job is almost due She comes like clockwork every week They'll miss the revenue The old age club is miffed She never joins the group And tries to lure the rest of them To come and fly the coop! Last week she went dancing And partied all night long Then someone handed her a mike And she sang a bawdy song Please help us to find grandma She's getting much too bold She decided she's too young for us For she's never growing old!

Grandma Bea, I'm with you babe! The older I get, the higher I kick! I don't plan on lying down in green pastures! ~ I'll be dancing across them! I may embrace the Wisdom of advancing years ~ but not the Wrinkles. I have a spa team that is working hard at keeping my outsides as young as my insides! lol We are like a fine Bordeaux wine! We get better with age! Love your poem ~ and your spirit! Happy Holiday Hugs, EA |

Hi Earth Angel...I vowed long ago that I would not go gently into that good night, but rage...rage...laugh and deny that I'm ever a day older! As for the high kicks...my new knee refuses to join me! Keep on truckin`. Bea |

I think I love your grandma! Dancing till I'm 190 sounds good to me. ) Such a cute poem and just thought I'd tell you my daughter is a grandma and she's only 33! She would definitely agree! |

But shouldn't we enjoy such a second childhood? I mean, we were too young to have THAT much fun... and you KNOW what I mean! Oh, you bring a wonderful lift of spirit to our forums, Bea! |

She'll die of looking at pots and pans dishes to wash and wrinkled old hands. Her man lies in state in an easy chair with the boob tube on and can't see her there. Makeup and hair dye, and push-ups, too, wings on her heels are long overdue. The kids are all busy, she's put out a writ of wee care for hire, she won't babysit. Sparkling now, her eyes at a glance say there's no time like the present-- she's learning to dance. With toenails painted and dancing shoes donned One flash in the mirror and old granny is gone! (Not all true...that new grandbaby is a doll!) |
