My Grandad

Now there is a surprise
And I never saw it
I look at a little girl
she can never do aything rigth
at home
she is too big, too dumb, too clumsy
and sometimes she
really deserves a beating
being so stupid and difficult
and all that

But the Grandad
Has no doubts
She is the best
She works so hard
Shes like an angel
He wishes she never left
at the end of each summer
he always cries

Sure he drinks
Sure he hits his wife
or tries to
Sure he wets himself
at times
when so drunk.
But-
I was loved
consistently
after all.

I Thank You Grandad.
