Grandma and Grandpa's 50th Anniversary Bash
Santa Ana, CA
MARCH 1998

THE LIMERICKS

by Abe
Being the littlest of this motley crew
I get away with most all I do
My cute white smile
And innocent style
If I'm not your favorite, then who?

by Henry
The avocado tree -- an endearing lore
The backdrop for photos we all adore
In season - the fruit
provides us with loot
As we go sell door-to-door.

by Ben
Grandma's house is where we play
We're spoiled rotten when we stay
When Hank grandma shouts
There's surely no doubts
Grandpa's teeth are not in today.

by Jeremy
No one knows what Grandpa will find
When he follows a garage sale sign
These recycled toys
Are fun for us boys
But new toys are funner - just to remind.

by Jacob
The first Californian from the start
I filled your walls with Crayola Art
I changed your name
Nanny it became
Has that won a place in your heart?

by Julie
Parabolas, equations and mx + b
Authors, essays and new books for me
Grandparents so bright
Keep homework loads lite
And can't beat the price -- it's for free.

by Jeff
As oldest I pass along gratitude
For your continuous generous attitude
But our trip for this year
Should not be so near
Let's try a southern most latitude.
