Child-Proof

There’s a child-proof cap That’s beyond my strength, Though I’ve tried my best To get it off, at length. First I push, then twist But it’s staying stuck And my grandson would Thus be out of luck But his dad will soon Be back home and then There’ll be medicine ‘Til the next time when His new dose is due; Then there’ll be no goof For a dad can open What’s Nana-proof.

Ha, ha. Love the phrase 'Nana-proof.' Copywrite it, Ilene.

This is a good one. I have trouble also. Screw top wine bottles can be held under hot running water. The medicine bottles are hardest.
