try it Grandma

Just try it grandma! Elsie said from the air
The only thing not on ready alert was her hair
She was upside down, inverted in a weird way
Sorry! I told her. I have an appointment today.

The next time I went she was more insistent with me.
I might fall on my head, break my chin, thigh bone or knee!
Come on! She urged me. I know you can do it; don’t squawk.
I inverted myself on her pole. My back aches so badly now I can’t walk.
