How can anyone forget this?

Tell me,

who are grandparents?

asked the class teacher

d' 7-yr-old stared at d' roof,

thought for a while to answer

Grandparents?...okay…

a lady and an old man,

have no little kids of their own,

always love other people's children

They live at the airport,

from where we pick them up

later have to drop them back too,

when they wish to push up

A juvenile retort of d' sinless face,

delighted the class teacher

felt amused to ask her again,

you'll elaborate it a li'l more

A grandfather is an old man,

and a grandmother, a lady!

she loves to shop at Forum mall,

to join her, Grandpa ever ready

They're always old people, it's good,

they get lollipops and French fries

lift my baby sister from d' cradle,

if she gets up from sleep and cries 

When they take us for walks,

they are always slow movers

They talk to us about God,

say no bad words, like my brother


Grandpa drinks tea in d' morning,

puts on glasses read d' newspaper

with long strings dangling down,

wears such funny underwear

If I don't listen to mommy,

rebut her, too much bother

granny tells amazing stories,

she d' greatest story-teller,

and the best hugger

 

Grandparents are smart,

we annoy, yet they don't bother

everybody should try to have,

 a grandmother and a grandfather

They ask me-

to share items with friends,    

in the kitchen to help mom

keep away from cell phones,

after online classes are done





They, part of our  life,

say prayers with us and kiss us

if not at home, I always miss,

Grandpa, d' smartest man on earth! 

 how can anyone forget this?
