Come On In The Senility Is Fine

People live forever in Jacksonville and St.

Petersburg and Tampa,

But you don't have to live forever to become a grampa.

The entrance requirements for grampahood are comparatively mild,

You only have to live until your child has a child.

From that point on you start looking both ways over your shoulder,

Because sometimes you feel thirty years younger and sometimesthirty years older.

Now you begin to realize who it was that reached the height ofimbecility,

It was whoever said that grandparents have all the fun and none ofthe responsibility.

This is the most enticing spiderwebs of a tarradiddle ever spun,

Because everybody would love to have a baby around who was noresponsibility and lots of fun,

But I can think of no one but a mooncalf or a

Who would trust their own child to raise a baby.

So you have to personally superintend your grandchild from diapersto pants and from bottle to spoon,

Because you know that your own child hasn't sense enough to comein out of a typhoon.

You don't have to live forever to become a grampa, but if you dowant to live forever,

Don't try to be clever;

If you wish to reach the end of the trail with an uncut throat,

Don't go around saying Quote I don't mind being a grampa but Ihate being married to a gramma Unquote.
