Image # 1 My dear grandpop and grandma pop Took a short vacation I remember how my mom felt Full of frustration Mom depended on them so much Babysitters were they Days, nights and weekends were at play They were supposed to stay Grandma got so hot and went pop Lost weight, wore stilettos She changed from an older grandma Studied all librettos We were all surprised that she changed She wanted a new name Grand-maman she insisted fit The children thought it lame So, they still called her grandma pop With new friends, it didn't fit They weeded her out of their group Now she bakes cake and knits Also reads stories; does her part To instill within each child What is most important for them To live life undefiled

What a fun poem with a grandpop, and grandma pop! I have an acquaintance who has her grandkids call her 'Glammy', which is adorable for her, because she truly is glammy. But me? I want to fight aging with every muscle, but not try to be my friend, too late, I've been Grammy way to long :)! I will be who I am, and she, the lovely glamourous Glammy that she is will stay she. I would truly scare my grandkids if I tried to be like my friend, and she'd scare her grandkids if she became like me, lol!

Yes, we have to be who we are no matter what that role is that we carry. When my oldest grandson was small, I had to get dressed up to go out one night with my husband and for some reason they dropped by, and our grandson wanted to know who I was. LOL..He said you don't look like my grandmother. LOL. I just didn't get dressed up much when he was around. Sara K

Your image and poem are equally engaging and interesting. Slightly hilarious too. What a sweet message the grandma gives to the children- 'Live life undefiled.' Greatly enjoyed your poem, dear Sara.
