Good Day to Be Grandpa

Drop him off dirty, drive away quickly

Short, chubby legs.
Baggy, blue shorts,
Red sneaks, white laces.
Screaming yellow Batman tee shirt.
Born to be a ginger.
Running hard down the dirt path.
Hands in the air.
Shrieks of wonder over a squirrel.
Four fingers old.
Smile of a delinquent angel.
Face first, down hard.
A splash, a scream.
The ooey gooey mud puddle
never saw him coming.
Drop him off a muddy mess.
Drive away quickly.
Good day to be grandpa.
