Grandpa's Swagger Child View

GRANDPA’S SWAGGER

My grandpa has a monster yell
He likes to curse says ‘go to hell’
A steel worker must be stout
That is what his day is all about
I love him like a crazy fool
He’s more fun than the kids at school
We go to see his friends and talk
I watch him swagger when he walks
He shows his friends how I can spell
And tell the jokes he likes to tell
Other cousins run away
They are afraid of him, they say
But I love him so big and loud
His booming laugh just makes me proud
