When Grandma Drank the Koolaid

At play
one day

we saw
grandma.

We took
a look.

She’d made
kool-aid.

She sipped.
It dripped

onto 
each shoe.

Dispose
of those!

Her dress -
a mess!

The stain -
her bane.

I guess
her dress

no doubt’s
thrown out.

Andrea, for sure that Kool-Aide can stain. LOL..Also as we get older, for some reason, we spill things on our clothes more often. Another reason growing old is not for sissies. Thanks for sharing this creative one with us and for dropping by. Sara
