Happy Grandad.

Grandma kisses baby goodbye,

and pats his lovely ginger curls.

Her own red locks long gone,

now grey.



Grandpa sets off, swaggering down the street.

His big hairy hands

hold tight to  

the buggies handles.



Safe inside is number one sons son.

Number two son is not married

and older daughter,

well, she is to career minded.



You would need a crow bar

to prize off his grin,

and as for pride,

if his chest gets any bigger

it will explode.



The sun bounces happily

off his bald head,

and little number ones

feet bounce up and down.

He stops to adjust the parasol

and wishes he had a hat.

He will end up with a red head.



He laughs out loud.
