My Grandma's Getting Surgery

My Grandma's getting surgery
My Grandpa's filled with joy
For Grandma never left the house
Because she's unemployed.

Grandma was so nervous
She didn't want to go
But Grandpa on the other hand
Is never left alone.

Grandpa was so happy
He shouted out with glee
But when Grandma heard this
She shot him in the knee

Grandpa called the hospital
They hurried without haste
Before they even got there
Grandma decked him in the face.

When the ambulance got there
To the hospital did they flee
For it was now Grandpa
Who was getting surgery.

Ho-ho-ho! This is sooo funny, Daniel! At least your grandma and grandpa didn't get "run over by a reindeer," as the song goes. You gave me a great laugh. Thank you! Love, Carolyn
