Ice Cream Gran 2 - Going Turbo

My old Gran, met an ice cream man
Who welcomed her into the clan
Of superhero ice cream men
Who fend off villains now and then 

He gave her top crime fighting tips
And lots of special chocolate chips
They’ll pump your muscles, fix your hips
If two or three should pass your lips

We’ve also got a gadget man
Looking at your ice cream van
He’ll supercharge the things he can
And then we’ll call you Turbo Gran

               *

One week later, first time out
Turbo went out on the scout
When two muggers robbed a man
Turbo Gran pulled up the van

She grabbed some chocolate chips to eat
These would make her hard to beat
She hurled some ice cream down the street
And underneath the mugger’s feet

Their every step did slip and slide
They reached a barn and hid inside
The barn was stacked up high with logs
But P.C. Hoggs had brought the dogs

‘Hey, Turbo Gran, you gotta laugh,
those muggers left an ice cream path.’
The dogs sniffed where ice cream was slicked
And pretty soon those thieves were licked

So now they call her Turbo Gran
It’s written on her ice cream van
With ‘Speedy’ written on each door
Just listen to it’s engine roar



So watch her go, my crazy gran
My grandma with a souped up van
To call her ‘Turbo’, please feel free
But she’s still ‘Ice Cream Gran’ to me

LOL! Very good Terry. I'm wondering if there's a role for Mr Softy or Mr Whippy in later poems? Cheers - Gary

Anything’s possible, Gary. I’m just tidying up number 5, but it’s a long one so I’m looking to see if there’s a logical split where I could post part one and part two. I’m tempted to say there isn’t so it may go on as is. Glad you enjoyed. Terry

Thanks, Jennifer. Don’t know how much personality to give her… it’s kinda nice that anyone could imagine that she’s their own grandma. Have to see what my dusty place comes up with. Terry

Glad you enjoyed this sequel, Tom. Whether she’ll ever be able to fly, I don’t know….. yet! Terry
