Poem: They are the greatest!

The computer swallowed grandma.

Yes, honestly it's true!

She pressed 'control and 'enter'
And disappeared from view.

It devoured her completely,
The thought just makes me squirm.
she must have caught a virus
Or been eaten by a worm.

I've searched through the recycle bin
And files of every kind;
I've even used the Internet,
But nothing did I find.

In desperation, I asked Google

My searches to refine.
The reply from there was negative,
Not a thing was found 'online.'

So, if inside your 'In box,'
My Grandma you should see,
Please 'Copy, Scan' and 'Paste'
And send her back to me.

[This is a tribute to all the Grandmas and Grandpas

who have been fearless and learned to use the computer...]

Don't mess with the old dogs

An old Doberman starts chasing rabbits and before long, discovers that he is lost. Wandering about, he notices a lion heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.

The old Doberman thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep trouble!"

Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the lion is about to leap, the old Doberman exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious lion! I wonder, if there are any more around here?"

Hearing this, the young lion halts his attack in mid-stride, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees. "Whew!," says the lion, "That was close! That old Doberman nearly had me!"

Meanwhile, a squirrel who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the lion. So, off he goes.

The squirrel soon catches up with the lion, spills the beans and strikes adeal for himself with the lion.

The young lion is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here, squirrel, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine!"

Now, the old Doberman sees the lion coming with the squirrel on his back and thinks, "What am I going to do now?," but instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old Doberman says "Where's that squirrel? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another lion!"

 

Moral of this story:

Don't mess with the old dogs ... Age, experience and skill will always overcome youth and treachery. 

Always listen to your wise grandparents - they can always make a plan when a situation seems impossible.

Who are grandparents?

✍written by a class of 7-year-olds

👦🏻👧🏻 You'll love it ...

😘Grandparents are a lady and a man who have no little children of their own.

😘They like other people's children.

😘A grandfather is a man, and a grandmother is a lady!

😘Grandparents don't have to do anything except be there when we come to see them.

😘They are so old they shouldn't play hard or run.

😘It is good if they drive us to the shops and give us money.

😘When they take us for walks, they slow down past things like pretty leaves and caterpillars.

😘They show us and talk to us about the colours of the flowers and also why we shouldn't step on 'cracks.'

😘They don't say, 'Hurry up.'

😘Usually they are fat but not too fat to tie your shoes.

😘They wear glasses and funny underwear.

😘They can take their teeth and gums out.

😘Grandparents don't have to be smart.

😘They have to answer questions like 'Why isn't God married?' and 'How come dogs chase cats?'

😘When they read to us, they don't skip.

😘They don't mind if we ask for the same story over again.

😘Everybody should try to have a grandmother, especially if you don't have television because they are the only grownups who like to spend time with us ...

😘They know we should have snack time before bed time.

😘They say prayers with us and kiss us even when we've acted bad.

😘Grandpa is the smartest man on earth!

😘He teaches me good things, but I don't get to see him enough to get as smart as he is.
