Grandfather

Write in the park, day 16.

This morning I try my hands at writing limericks in anapestic trimeter. Typically, limericks are often rude and humorous. My limericks are not rude, I think, but I hope you'll find it at least a little humorous.

Old grandpa he was tough and much hardened
He doted on all his grandchildren
They asked for some bread
He made dinner instead
With the food he could find in the kitchen.
And one day old grandpa went to town
From the shops he did look for a gown
He found one that he liked
It was cosy inside
But it made grandpa look like a clown
In the evening grandpa he would sit
On his rocking chair resting his feet
Grandchildren would come
His bald head they would comb
Old grandpa would pretend it was neat.
