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! *Virtual Reality - Google it!

Maybe it's better than the 'old days' when kids just squirmed and couldn't wait to 'get away from the table' and/or go home...
