No Swimming

Henry blew off swimming 
But was scheduled to go.
Daddy wasn't happy 
So of course he let him know.

We're here to spend the weekend
While his mommy is away,
So ultimately only Daddy
Has the final say.

If he stuck to his decision,
Henry had to make a choice -
Give up something, maybe Nana -
Hearing this, he found his voice.

"No, I will not give up Nana!"
Daddy, hearing that, agreed,
So his tablet and some special books 
Were items he did cede.

Still, he stuck to what he wanted
And avoided swimming chills
Though he may regret it later
At the time his tablet fills.

But to me, it was amazing
That I played a little part 
In the bargain, for my grandson
Proved I'm tucked inside his heart.
