Don't worry about your Gran
The kind nurse said to me
She's got us jumping from our stations
To fetch her cups of tea
And although she may be ninety
You're really not aware
When she's whizzing down the corridor
In her pimped up 'lectric chair
The porters are all smitten
When she flirts outrageously
And the doctors fight to be on call
When she's suffering with her knee
Her tales are most outrageous
And you'd think them to be tall
But then she smiles and gives that wink
And you know she's lived them all
So you see your Gran is doing fine
You really shouldn't worry
She's full of life..
And going nowhere in a hurry!

Just brilliant - reminds me so much of my Mum who had the same attitude to life - a great poem.
Thank you Michael. This is the first poem I have written since my childhood so was quite nervous about sharing.
Well you've got a talent for it - look forward to more.
WELCOME LEISHA ~ Thanks for sharing you first POEM ~ excellent ! Perfect Structure pulsating (like you Gran) with rhyme & rhythm ! The Subject is an encouragement and it reminds us that our Grans come from an era when the knew how to make the best of any situation ~ including being hospitalised ~ and they love all the attention ! Thanks for caring ~ BRIAN (UK).
