Explosion
An explosion is always right because
Gramps can't argue with an explosion.
If he starts up at Thanksgiving dinner
You and him might argue but he can't
Argue with an explosion you set off.
Same thing as when Gramps buys
A cell phone and you have to set off
An explosion or when Gramps goes
On a trip down memory lane again
You have to set off an explosion.
What if Gramps keeps continuously
Bungling old time expressions like
It is two sides of the same horse?
You must set off another explosion,
You got to so stop your blubbering.
Sleepless
Gramps is scared that he might
Forget his Social Security Number
So tossing and turning like a ship
Heavy laden he keeps reciting
His Social Security Number to
Himself until the casement glows
A glimmering square (Tennyson.)
