Just Passed the Baton

Our grandkids have something

Our kids never had –

Two grands on the side of

Both mother and dad.

 

Our son is their daddy.

We’re urban and vote

For the Democrats and

Of the arts we take note.

 

The others (that’s Grandma

And Pop-Pop) watch Fox.

Their life in the suburbs

Avoids city blocks.

 

Yet we all love the grandkids;

They see us and smile,

Despite how we watch them,

In unalike style.

 

With parents away, we have

Split up the week.

We’ve just passed the baton,

Our turn done, so to speak.

 

Our children are lucky,

(They don’t know how much)

With two fit sets of grands

To come through in the clutch.
