Off to the races for Grandpa Norm

Off to the races for Grandpa Norm
Off to the races for Grandpa Norm
He's my favorite grandpa though

Some may consider him a bit odd
Because he plays with us and other boys and girls
Grandpa Norm is so sweet
He gives us treats
He comes in love, he gives us love

Off to the races for Grandpa Norm
Off to the races for Grandpa Norm
He's my favorite grandpa though

Running round the house and yard we run
Together we're having so much fun
Chasing each other watchin him chase the dog
As the dog chases the cat chases us
Me and my brothers and sisters
Playing games once again grandpa off to the races

“Grandpa Norm was so sweet.” Overall a good piece. You might want to change was to is. The rest of the piece is present tense and this line you changed to past tense. If you hadn’t switched again to present tense that would have been fine.
