Grandma jingles –
With pockets full
Of ice cream promises.
Grandma creaks –
With joints all full
Of dusty pain.
Grandma bustles –
With sausage legs
And dumpling body.
Grandma sits –
With withered limbs
And furrowed skin.
Grandma smiles –
With eyes that shine
Like favorite marbles.
Grandma frowns –
With hurt and shame
In sad dog eyes.
I love you grandma –
I wish you would live forever.
I love you grandma –
I wish you would die soon.
