My dear grandpop and grandma pop Took a short vacation I remember how my mom felt Full of frustration Mom depended on them so much Babysitters were they Days, nights and weekends were at play They were supposed to stay Grandma got so hot and went pop Lost weight, wore stilettos She changed from an older grandma Studied all librettos We were all surprised that she changed She wanted a new name Grand-maman she insisted fit The children thought it lame So, they still called her grandma pop With new friends, it didn't fit They weeded her out of their group Now she bakes cake and knits Also reads stories; does her part To instill within each child What is most important for them To live life undefiled

Your image and poem are equally engaging and interesting. Slightly hilarious too. What a sweet message the grandma gives to the children- 'Live life undefiled.' Greatly enjoyed your poem, dear Sara.

Thanks for sharing such an interesting story about kids and grandparents, Sara. Thrown together while living in almost completely different worlds. Smiles ~ Blessings from a poet friend in Texas, Bill
