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

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!

Thanks Michelle, actually it was intended to read... if you think Grandpa’s driving is bad... wait till you see Grandma’s.

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!
