Two Eight Year-Olds

Prince George is there at Wimbledon,

Between his folks, first row. 

They’re sitting in the Royal Box

With hours left to go.


In suit and tie, though 8 years old,

He’s very well behaved,

Remaining quite expressionless

While both his parents waved.


I’m watching from the living room,

My grandson, 8, close by.

He paid attention for a while,

In shorts and tee (no tie).


He’s playing chess with Grandpa now

But asks me for the score.

Unlike Prince George, he can admit

The game (to him’s) a bore.
