Grandpa Changes the Baby
Grandpa Changes the Baby
By Elton Camp
“Dad, I need to run down to the grocery store.
Wanna watch Junior as you’ve done before?”
He told his daughter they two would be okay
That he and baby would enjoy a chance to play
She hadn’t been gone but a very short while
When he smelled an odor very rank and vile
Grandpa started to call her on her cell phone
Before from the house she was too far gone
He thought, “Hey, I’ve done this a lot before.
So I can surely handle just one time more.”
The last diaper change had been many a day
But he had no doubt that he recalled the way
But as he got started, he suddenly did recall
He had changed diapers wet, but that was all
When his own baby had done “number two,”
Then that had always been his wife’s job to do
Grandpa whispered, “Oh, my goodness, darn.
This cute baby smells exactly like an old barn.”
But his grandchild’s need he just had to meet
So diaper removal and clean-up he did complete
Just as he was about to put a clean one in place
It was a stream of urine that hit him in the face
In the future, when that occasion arose again
“Why don’t we all go?” he said with a grin
