Grandpa Despised Stuck Up People Too Ct
I smiled when she said that he died.
She was a mean woman, no soul.
Refused to show inside I cried.
So being stoic was my goal.
She told some other people too.
Confidential? She had no clue.
I knew my grandfather loved me.
Imagined now that he could see.
I saw him in heaven laughing.
He despised pompous people too.
Grandma with him I imagined.
Bad-news-bearer had lost power.
Grandpa said to me that night too
Grandma and I are proud of you.
