Once Upon a Time

Once a week the grandson comes to Granny's He loves to get special treats tucked away Searching every nook and little crannies Then while he snacks he loves to play, play, play.. Last week his day at Granny's house involved Outside play, some time reading tractor books Then in a few minutes truck play evolved Through all of them he loves to look and look Then he left granny's house and headed home With memories of what happened there He wanted to talk to Granny on the phone He asked," With what truck are you playing and where?" I told him, " I'm not now playing with a truck but with Neopet; soon I'll get the fire truck stuck." Sponsor: Francine Roberts Contest: Tickle My Funny Bone Written: March 12, 2014

I have many memories of when I went to grandma's house and played, just like your grandson did that day! Don't you love all those memories that you made with him...they will remain with him for the rest of his life, it means that much to him, trust me it does! I really enjoyed reading this terrific poem here this evening! You have masterfully crafted a sentimental piece here my friend! What a superior poem, Great Work!!
