When Grandpa comes and reads to me;
I feel the sun and smell the sea.
I hear of men who caught the whales,
And then some wild safari tales.
He reads how cowboys rode the trails
And men worked hard to build the rails
That carried trains out to the west.
Then baseball stories I like best.
Grandpa can't do skateboards, though.
He's not good with nintendo.
These things I overlook, you see,
Cause I love him and he loves me.
Ode To The Elderly

Oh, I am just a little one.
I'm glad my life has just begun.
The fire of youth flows through my veins.
I don't have old folk's aches and pains.
Today I'm sad about old folks
And I've stopped telling old age jokes.
I've just found out it's hard to see
A relative that's elderly.
My mom is getting old and gray,
She had a birthday yesterday.
She may be old but still is purty,
For a woman who has lived to thirty.
