Amiana Visits Grandma Flo
Amiana was so very happy
When she finally got to go
For a wonderful visit to see
Her happy Grandma Flo
They both got right on the ball
Since many years had passed
Without any visits at all
Now the time was here at last
They first tried their luck
With a pizza they ate
The cheese and paper got stuck
But it really tasted great
Next they decided to write
A poem about the visit
Grandma was a funny sight
When she kept saying tis-it
The poem was going to be
About Butch the ceramic statue
But their minds changed you see
For there was nothing he could do
Grandma’s dog Sophie made a fuss
They just couldn’t concentrate
As she was getting so rambunctious
But she got quiet after she ate
With so much they wanted to do
They made a list to prioritize
Then for energy to get all through
They first began with exercise
Amiana needed to stretch her skin
As she was beginning to grow
And with Grandma getting so thin
Her skin needed tightening you know
They told funny stories to each other
When they finished doing a dance
They planned to put poems in ABC order
But never did get the chance
They giggled and laughed all around
And even hid snow globes too
Hard to locate but always found
After searching through and through
A lot squeezed into two days
Amiana made a big poster
And figured out a puzzle maze
That Grandma Flo drew for her
They dusted and shined the whatnots
And took time to play with Sophie
They updated calendars and did a lot
While building special memories
In the morning they still had fun
They watched a little Joel Osteen
And planned to go out in the sun
But first got a few things cleaned
Even using a timer they didn’t realize
While tanning and talking of the fun they had
That it was time to go home and were surprised
When they were greeted by her mom and dad
They will both remember this day
When Amiana was only seven
And how they laughed and played
Like it was a joyful day in heaven
