Smash N Gran - For Succinct Contest

Strange things happened that last time my Grandpa drove to town
He scrapped a nine eleven and mowed a phone booth down
Folkies in the future will very likely sing
The man trashed a McDonald’s but spared a Burger King

It barely made the papers, just local news in some
Someone should have told them that there was worse to come
Spielberg’s gonna make a movie, if the rumour’s sound
Of the total devastation when Grandma drove to town

Michelle Faulkner Date: 12/20/2018 3:22:00 PM Kept thinking of 'Grandma got run over by a reindeer' - don't know if that was your intention, but like the fun and unusual rhymes here, congratulations on your placement!

Lindsay Laurie Date: 12/19/2018 5:43:00 PM G'day Terry … sounds like a good time to be ON the road when grandma drives to town - thanks Terry - Lindsay Login to Reply Terry Flood Date: 12/19/2018 5:47:00 PM Hey Lindsay. I get your drift. I used to play darts with someone who was so bad, the safest place to stand was in front of the board!
