Just Because We’re Grandparents

Just Because We’re Grandparents

Just because we’re grandparents
and children think we’re old
we’re  just not ready for that club
we haven’t yet enrolled

There’s still a flicker of devilment
A twinkle in our eyes
growing old is optional
as we’re teenagers still inside

We like a bit of excitement
a catchy little tune
we’re pretty nifty on our feet
we’re written off too soon!

We might look sweet and innocent
but looks can be deceiving
we just start to come alive
whilst everyone else is leaving!

We’re fed up with being sensible
as that is really boring
we never learn we overdo it
then regret it in the morning

Come round for a coffee?
but – only if you’re able
We’ll eat cake, have lots of laughs
we’ll picnic under the table

It’s the little things……
