She Hit the Floor….

Published by broussardlana on June 16, 2015

When grandma retired
she refused to be alone

She went downtown
joined the 50 Plus Zone
She even met a guy
whose name was Burl Gudbye
Granny didn’t trim her grass
but went to fitness class
Gentle yoga taught her poses
Burl bought her red roses
Karaoke singing songs
and days lasted long
Burl dressed like Ringo
at Saturday night bingo
Grandma stopped shopping Walmart
and got into art
Selfie extravaganza – she did strike a pose
Posted pics of Burl – playin’ dominoes
AARP class, who needed it?
She even sent back her sewing kit
We hardly ever saw her
she never was at home
Just pics of the two of them
on the cell phone
Then one May a tribute band
came in town to play
And things were never the same
since that day
Grandma had liked the Stones
since the Days of Yore
So Burl got the tickets
and they headed out the door
At the show they rocked
and did it up so fine
Time travelled back
to 1969
As it was over, poor Burl
ditched his phone
Broken-hearted Burl,
went back alone
Cause it seemed that grandma
was more than just a fan
a backstage pass, a black mini skirt,
a groupie for the band
Because the Mick Look- Alike was
sharp as a dagger
And yes you guessed it,
he moved just like Jagger

    I really liked this playful post, hoping my poetic adventures get as exciting as Grandma’s. Maybe someday for me, it will be another siuation and I can ditch the male friends and ‘get it on,’ with a jazzy blues playing ancient rocker 🙂
