FROM A GRANDCHILD'S
VIEW POINT
|
||
So whether I speak as a boy or a girl, Or as several kids in this old world. Our Grandpa gives us so much pleasure, We consider him a family treasure. We Grandkids just love to hug his neck, Especially when he writes a check. He is a dear fellow we love so fully, He is brave and bold but he's no bully. So let's tell you a story that is true, Our grandpa fought in World War Two. He fought so that we might all be free, And to protect this land for you and me. War is so evil we know for a fact, A lot of good men didn't make it back. Grandpa is one of our favorite men, He's already passed three score and ten. Grandpa is known as a wise old sage, He says Grandma must lie about her age. No one could stay pretty for so long, Unless she's been telling her age wrong. Grandpa worked hard when he first started, But now we think he has become retarded. We love to crawl into grandpa's lap Then all of us can take a nap. When we wake up we always know, He will tell us stories of long ago. Listening to Grandpa is a lot of fun. And we kids enjoy each and every one, We really think Grandpa is cool and great, But he's put too much food upon his plate. He doesn't move fast or with great haste He is a little too big around the waist. But if he was called to fight once more, His feet would surely hit the floor. After all these years of toil and strife, He still loves his country more than life. So no matter how we pronounce his name, He's earned his place in our Hall of Fame.
