Go Granny Go

Yesterday on the news of the Internet, with a hot cup of coffee
I get my news on the Internet, this one woke me up
Some where back East, not sure of the location
A sweet grand mother, spent the night in jail, how could this be
Angry at what I read, it took another cup
But seems now day, we are seeing this infection

Her eighteen year old grand daughter doing her work work refused
Screaming the F word at her, grandma gave her a good old slap of the jaw
What she needed, but she ran to the telephone
Probably had the number ready and called the law
Crying and sobbing, saying that she had been abused
The poor little brat, more than likely expected a ice cream cone

The Law arrived, claimed to be a domestic call
Officer claimed that these can be dangerous situations
The sweet grand mother was in cufffs, spent the night in jail
Who was not on the ball?
And they will fail
Arresting someone on a screw ball thought, maybe drug crazed allegations

From what I saw the grand mother did not have any grenades in her purse
Was not throwing gang signs and did not have prison tattoos
Not even a Pancho Villa moustache  or a pipe bomb
Talk about not having a clue?
We have to give to the Granny, she stayed calm

A simple drug test would have determined both parties
Of all the tools used by the law, it was not common sense
This is a sad joke, but it is not funny
This happens everyday in the new so call society
And sane people have no real defense
Go Granny go, I hope that you sue them for a ton of money

ah, this is interesting.could go both ways. i mean the other people who saw this were the grandmother and granddaughter. but i know if this was my grandmother.i wouldn't call the police on her, plus i would listen to her in the first place. -Always&Forever Lynette
