Grandma's Flown the Coop

Grandma’s Flown the Coup! Has anyone here seen Grandma? We’ve been searching high and low It’s time she joined the seniors’ home Burt she doesn’t want to go She packed up all her make-up Paid her Botox bill in full Her kids think she should act her age She thinks that that’s bull! Her hair salon is worried Her dye job is almost due She comes like clockwork every week They’ll miss the revenue The old age club is miffed She never joins the group And tries to lure the rest of them To come and fly the coop! Last week she went dancing And partied all night long Then someone handed her a mike And she sang a bawdy song Please help us to find Grandma She’s getting much too bold She decided she’s too young for us For she’s never growing old!

Grandma's just fine. Let her have fun. When she runs out of gas you can bring her in. Fun poem.
