Natasha L Scragg Poet Limerick

Mishearing Things

I said to my Grandad one day
While packing the shopping away
"I'm gonna leave this 
Pizza, four cheeses,
Out decreasing cooking time" - hooray!

"Did I just hear you right'
He chuckled away with delight,
'A pizza for Jesus?"
[ I don't believe this ]
"Four CHeeses..." I answered polite.
