A Knotty Couple

There once was a knotty couple She had an eye made out of wood He was as fine as finished pine As was one leg, on which he stood! They met in a park one morning He walking with a cane, plop, plop She failed to see his broken gait Bumping said cane, which would drop! She said, "You're on my, wooden eye side," "I'm sorry, I did not see you!" He replied, "Lady that's quite all right," "You're on my, wouldn't I, side too!" His intentional play on words Was met by her tried resistance She said, "Here", handing him his cane, "Are you in need of assistance?" He said, "All you hurt was my pride," "I walk here for sport, not to beg" She said,"I'll keep my eye out for you!" He hoped, she was not pulling his leg More than once this couple would meet He playful and she a bit haughty With all said and done, they became one And yes, sometimes they were naughty!

This makes me think of my granddad, who, after my grandma passed, started to date - and he was quite popular, with many 'ladyfriends' as he called them! He's been gone about 10 years now, thanks for reminding me of him today-

My grandpa passed when I was very young. Young enough to be standing in a rocking chair, and he would pretend not to see me and sit down. Funny how such little playful acts can stay with you for so long. So you see, we are even. Thank you for reminding me of him today!!!..........pat
