Holiday Visit
Our son and wife and grandkids
Came to visit, which is rare,
For their lives are full and hectic;
To our own, it can’t compare.
It was cold and it was snowy
But our house was nice and warm,
Filled with music, food and board games,
Plus we danced up quite a storm.
Yet the Scrabble, Life and Pick-Up Sticks
And dominoes and Clue
Were competing with the I-Pads, Switches,
V-R* headset, too.
It’s a world that we can’t conquer
And if kids were forced to choose
Between retro games with Nana
And this tech, we’d have to lose.
Still, at least they made the effort
So we did our very best
To provide a fun-filled visit;
Now we need a week of rest!
