Terry Ireland Poet Rhyme

Grandpa

Grandpa’s got engaged,
Giving the family a panic attack.
Ninety four and marrying
A teen age nymphomaniac.
They all got together in one
Of those family conferences
To try and bring grandad
Back down to his senses.
Sex with that woman could be fatal
His oldest daughter said
Grandpa looked amazed
And then sadly shook his head.
It's just one of those things
He said, much to their surprise,
It’s just a fact of life, my dear
If she dies, she dies.

Speaks Volumes January 9, 2023 at 4:26 AM Well you would certainly get your audiences attention, opening with that one. its TERRY-lFlC. Terry Ireland January 9, 2023 at 5:11 AM Thanks Wen. As I’ve said before, open with something short, sharp and humourous and then they’ll accept something more serious. Pub audiences are genuinely sympathetic for the most part. After all they’ve gone out for a pint, not a lecture.
