The Poetry of Brian Langley
We older people are
inclined to go SKIing -
nothing to do with zooming down snow covered slopes with ski's attached to
our feet,
but more to do with "Spending the Kid's Inheritance" or in this
case, the Grandkids -
perhaps this is why we do it
The grandkids don’t come visiting, too many things to do.
I’ve not seen some for several years, so I’ve made plans anew.
I’ll spend all their inheritance, I’m going on a trip,
I’ll fly off to the South of France, then jump aboard a ship
And sail to Greece and Turkey and the Adriatic Sea;
There’ll be no money left for them - I’ll spend it all on me.
This attitude that I’ve now got - inherited for sure;
From grandkids: those who don’t come round, to visit any more.
