Grandads

Is your Granddad like mine? :

GRANDADS

Let’s talk about Grandads.

Is your Grandad like mine?

He has white hair, he’s very old

And he reads us nursery rhymes.

When he comes to mind us

My two brothers and me

He always asks,

“How do you turn on the T.V.?”

Then we flick through the channels

For his favourite show

We have to do it for him

‘Cause he doesn’t know.

Grandads know nothing

About computers and phones

I wonder what happens when

They’re at home on their own?

If Mummy’s computer won’t work

I ask Grandad, “How do I make it go?”

He looks at me and says,

“I’m sorry, I don’t know!”

Even my little brother

Can run his finger across the screen,

Turn on the computer

And watch cartoons with me.

You can’t play games on Grandad’s phone

It’s old and very small.

You can’t even take photos

But he doesn’t care at all.

Grandad said “I don’t want a new phone,

I don’t want one like that

I just want a phone so I can ring my friends

And they can ring me back.”

I also use Mummy’s small computer

To watch cartoons and play games

My baby brother watches me

One day he’ll do the same.

My big brother

Showed me what to do

So I’ll teach my baby brother

And I’ll teach my Grandad, too.
