Clad in a garish green muu-muu, she danced
wildly to golden oldies.
Dumbfounded grandkids stared.

We had three children;
Gave us five grandkids.
Those bore three more-
Fourth branch fills tree!

This is a perfect example of how bad our economy is.
My local strip club has dancers who are stripping,
so they can help put their grandkids through college....

Trump says, "Trade Wars are easy to win!"
To be sure, Trump will tweet that again
So far Trump has lost
And can't count the cost
But you will when the grandkids move in!...

Grandparents are the best
They’ve had time
To get their act together
And now have quality time
To spend with grandkids

Birthdays, reunions, vacations and hikes.

Weddings, divorces and photos of tykes.

Vids of grandkids on their skateboards and bikes.

These are the things every cyber Friend 'Likes'!...

When I was my grandkids' age
    I could throw my bike down
      in the morning
    outside the playground, unlocked, unguarded

  Then return for it near twilight
     ~ it was always there...

The day after Thanksgiving
The turkey is gone from the table.
No football on tv. 
The apple pie is gone for good 
The grandkids are gone.
Now I have some words.
Who"s going to clean up this mess?...

Again has come Valentine's Day,
To all my loves I have to say
Thanks for all you add to life, 
From Daughters, Brothers, & Sisters & Wife.
To that add the Grandkids Three
And may all our Hearts be free....

Grandma Moses was delivered by pterodactyl today
We saw her arrive, and we grandkids all yelled hooray
Thought you were extinct! We yelled up at the bird.
Don’t be rude, said the pterodactyl. So he had the last word....

plastic blocks         
      strewn across the floor
      picture books
      crayons too
      time playing with my grandkids
      a great adventure

Past fifty,
my eyesight is bad,
can't find my glasses,
then I get mad.
Where can they be,
has anyone seen,
not a trace,
now I'm steamed.
Up on my head,
is where they sit,
grandkids laughing,
how silly can one get....

Ghastly Grave Gathering 

Gran and grandpa are gone
Giving grandchildren gifts
Generations greedy
Guilty, grabbing for gain
Granted gratis gold goods
Girls grovel gracelessly
Gluttonous grandkids grief

my grandkids’ laughter,

kindnesses bestowed on me,

and my dog’s sweet eyes. . . 

fine strands in tapestries of

my abiding memory

My
home
empty
nest, no chirps
birds have gone away.
Sometimes friends show up to party
Only I know how happy I feel inside my heart.
When grandkids come, in long awaited dreams, their plays and laughter serenades my empty heart....

A twelve pound Tom’s what to get
Tie tight on the spit
Charcoal cook as he turns slow
Sizzling drips down below
Roast till golden tan 
A meal that’s
Grand!


I'm thankful for my Grandkids, what a joy they are for me....

At first only one
happy and blessed to have three
two daughters, a son

And wonderful grandkids came from each one...
two grandsons, three granddaughters...fruition!

Inside the little indoor tent,
H and H and Nana went
To sit there cozy, warm and snug;
It felt like an extended hug.

A private world we did create
With nothing there to aggravate – 
My grandkids (ages 1 and 3)
And happy (but exhausted) me....

gramps' farm cottage, photogenic,

       exudes  country  quaintness, scenic,

         but wait till his grandkids arrive,

             bedlam it'll be, a mad hive,

            what to us may be anarchic,

            for gramps,  joyfully chaotic!...

I remember when children were a blessing
For some, they seemed a burden to carry
Happy mine are all grown up, I’m confessing,
Now I have great-grandkids – it’s scary!
I’ll never have great-greats, I’m guessing.

I have visited 
my grandmom
who lives in
saint louis

and maybe
you had that plan too,
in this coming 
summer

and thanks to God 
I made it this spring 
and grandmom is strong,
fine and funny

so excited 
to see you 
and great grandkids
in this coming
summer....

His evening’s at hand
For me it’s midday
The world rushed bye
Nothing can stay

Confused and befuddled
He’s still dear to me
As a toddler of two
I bounced on his knee

The down on a thistle
Has blown far away
But this morning great grandkids
Did roughhouse and play...
