A Grandma for Christmas
A thought suddenly occurred to me
As I sat here this
day
I realized I have no
grandmas left
And I'm only thirty
years of age.
The holidays are closing in
Soon it will be
Christmas Day
So I thought about
running an ad
And this is what it
will say:
Wanted: A Grandma
for Christmas
One to love a thirty
year old child-at-heart
One who is warm and
funny
Soft, good smelling
and smart.
One to bake
gingerbread men
Fruitcakes and pumpkin
pie
One who will tell
stories of yesteryear
With that certain
twinkle in her eye.
A grandma who says
"Come here child
Let's sit by the fire
and sing
To praise our Lord in
Heaven above
While we put popcorn
and berries on a string."
A grandma with rosy
pink cheeks
And silvery-blue hair
One who will love
great-grandbabies
For I have plenty to
spare.
One who makes snow
angels
And turkey stuffed
with rice
Hot cinnamon tea and
yarn dolls
Yes, that would be
nice.
Wanted: A Grandma for
Christmas
Please reply right
away
There's so much to do
and plans to make
For soon it will be
Christmas Day!
