I have a very crafty senior citizen neighbor, and he is always bringing me the funniest poems,
or newspaper clippings of stories. This morning he shared a special poem with my grandfather and I; "Read this love letter from me to you, to your grand-dad," he grins as he passes the folded sheet of paper to me.
"It has no money in it. If it's a love letter, it should have money in it," I jokingly responded as I accepted the folded gift. As I unfolded this 'love letter', I could see it was written in the form of a poem, and wondered what have this frisky 'ole' man been up to on his typewriter.
"Read out loud to your grand-dad," my silvery neighbor insisted. Obeying his request, I put a bit more speed on unfolding the paper, and started to read ...
It was nothing but giggles to arrive shortly after reading over a few of the lines of the poem. I would like to share it with you, my readers:
I know this is a bad copy, but in order to fit the uploader, the photo has to be downsized, tremendously. So, I hope that you can see it clearly enough, where you don't strain your eyes, nor do you hurt yourself trying to do so (smile).
It was a funny, but true sentiment, and I wanted to share a smile with my readers.
