Cheers Grandpa Thoughts of Wisdom

Thoughts of wisdom. Now grandpa was a guy A man I held up high Everything he told me I knew it was no lie. All those facts he told While lying in his bed Waiting for his God To claim that he was dead. I was twelve years old As green as green can be But Grandpa always said That I could see and see. The stories that he told, His good one liners too They opened up my mind I knew that they were true. Do you want to know What he would converse? Like that backward poet He always writes inverse. He would often say “you are like me son, Just like an acupuncture A good jab well done!” Did I know that camels Could always find an oasis? Like Bakers only trade a recipe On a knead to know basis. Sometimes you carry stress Until you feel encumbered, But just you watch this space A calendars days are numbered. There are those that seem quite lucky But they bloody cheat. Just you think of this A boiled egg is hard to beat. Never go for credit No matter how well dressed, For like the Exorcist It will end up repossessed. Why did the chicken cross the road? It did cause a commotion, The silly bird was oiled A poultry in motion. Oh, see at Xmas time You think that time it pauses, But watch those Santa’s helpers There only subordinate little clauses. As for shopping centres I know that they do sprawl But once you’ve seen a big one, I think you have seen a Mall Never be a thief Or take a quick backhander You’ll end up with twelve months Just like a calendar. Grandpa he liked baseball And going to the gym That baseballs getting bigger Then the ball hit him! When it comes to writing Don’t get in a mess, To write with broken pencil It really is quite pointless. His last conversation it really was profound Before he climbed Gods steps, He said “Son, Go get my Gin and Schweppes, Appreciate the time you have It is only Manana, For Time flies like an Arrow But fruit flies like a Banana. Cheers Grandpa.
