Just Passed the Baton
Our grandkids have something
Our kids never had –
Two grands on the side of
Both mother and dad.
Our son is their daddy.
We’re urban and vote
For the Democrats and
Of the arts we take note.
The others (that’s Grandma
And Pop-Pop) watch Fox.
Their life in the suburbs
Avoids city blocks.
Yet we all love the grandkids;
They see us and smile,
Despite how we watch them,
In unalike style.
With parents away, we have
Split up the week.
We’ve just passed the baton,
Our turn done, so to speak.
Our children are lucky,
(They don’t know how much)
With two fit sets of grands
To come through in the clutch.
