GREAT GRANDMA- ( Another Story I Couldn't Resist Posting) LOL!

GREAT GRANDMA


She ran away from school when the teacher turned her back;
She was married that same day down by the railroad track;

She did not stop to think that she did not know a thing;
Because she had her man now and he gave her diamond ring;

She lived in a little farm house with a country view;
With several little kids playing in the morning dew;


Then she began to think, what ever will I do;
I am just like that woman who lived in the shoe;


So she washed their little faces and cleaned behind their ears;
And dressed them all in blue jeans that she had bought from sears.


Then when they were six years old she sent them off to school;
Riding on the school bus, for there was no car pool;


Then one foggy evening when the school bus came home late;
she started counting faces - "two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight" ;


"My Oh My' was all she said;
And turned them around, and sent them off to bed;


A few years later she awoke from a nap, picked her camera and it began to snap;
Five little boys, five little girls and a grand child on her lap;


"What a nice size family, " she said as she put the snapshot in a book;
Then in 1988, she took another look;


Son- in- laws, daughter- in-laws, grandkids, and their friends seated on the floor;
"This is a full house" she said, "no more, no more, no more" ;


Now the telephone is ringing, but Grandma does not hear because
she is so relaxed;
Sitting in her favorite chair watching "As The World Turns Back" ;


But Skeezie hears the phone ringing and comes running in to see;
"Got to build a man a house" he said, "that call might be for me" ;


So Grandma picks up the reciever and the message is so dear;
Grandma this is Toni, your great- grand daughter is here.
