Beach Bum Grandpa

my grandpa is not one of your regular Joes
he travels around where a surf blows
he has been riding boards since sixty-two
he will never come home to Kalamazoo

Sometimes I bump into him on a beach
He always has facial hair like a baby peach
He does not know me, but I am like him a bit
Single, annoying, a lone wolf, a chit
