One of a kind

storypoem for amusement only

One of a kind.

 

Great Grandma is a game old bird.

She's growing old disgracefully.

She thinks old is a dirty word.

 And lives her life accordingly.

 

If you feel old then you are old

If you don’t then you are not.

Great grandma knows a thing or two

She’s always trying something new.

 

Although she’s nearly ninety three

She shows no lack of energy.

So many things she wants to do.

She has no time for feeling blue.

 

She is far too busy to die

Although she must eventually.

That is if death can catch her in.

She often goes for a late spin.

 

On her 650 motor bike

Or to perform on open mike

Sitting round waiting to die

Is not for her and she knows why.

 

Life is for living every day.

She is prepared to show the way.

You can follow if you dare.

But truthfully she does not care.

 

 

If you do or if you don’t

If you will or if you won’t.

She is content to break the rules

 which are laid down by useless fools.

 

She’s growing old disgracefully.

To hell with propriety.

She always does what she wants to.

Not what others think she should do.

 

Great grandma is a game old bird.

She thinks old is a dirty word.

I have no doubt she is correct

You only get what you expect.

 

When I grow old I hope to be

living as disgracefully.

As my great grandma chooses to.
That is a dream I will pursue.

Wonderful slightly humerous piece. Reminds me of my own grandmother. Nicely done.

Me too! She's an inspiration. (obviously)
