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.

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.
