So I let myself
in
From a night at
the inn
Content I laid my
head down
On the mat by
the door
The dog came to
say hey
Sniffed, growled
and slunk away
Then I heard a
scream
That could be a
dream
But next morn
wife now shouted
“One day it would
be good
to see you home
sober for tea
I knew this would
happen to me”
She had a problem
to solve
Of how her brain
could evolve
To make me fit
for the family at three
They came right
on time
My daughter Pam
and children too
Young Jimmy and
toddler Sue
The little one
came, sat on my lap
Cuddled up and
went for a nap
Which I thought
was good idea too
When I woke up
all was a blur
She’d woke first,
my specs had took
And then
pretended to read a book

ReplyDeleteI like the nap on the mat and that the dog and children all share in the scene
ReplyDeleteGreat story. I love the picture. Grandpa needs to stop being so naughty.
ReplyDeleteDrink or don't drink - the question. Family - the main criteria, I guess.
