It Is Not Often
It’s not often you get a chance to save a puppy from a semi
Do it any way
It’s not often that you get to pretend you have made up
“After while crocodile” when a five-year-old says
“See you later alligator”
But it is lovely when it happens
And they think you are the
Most clever grandma in the world
It is not often that you get the opportunity to not say something mean back
But this is a challenge you might want to be ready to accept
For it might save your friendship and your marriage
It is not often that you make a cake so badly that you can roll it into balls
And bounce it down the sidewalk
But when they tell the story
Laugh with them
for some day it
truly might finally
seem funny
Just no when
you are ten.
