My Grandpa
My Grandpa
is a ladies man
I took him shopping last week
two days after hitting two malls with my mother
and my grandpa he hit on
every woman -- every woman
between him and his destination
He just had angioplasty
His heart is healthier
than it's been in a while
and I can tell because
he's eating bannanas and nuts
instead of pork rinds and potato chips
what he was eating
when he thought
it didn't matter anymore
But my grandpa
is a ladies man
he hits on
every woman
with a smile
a smart remark
a warm touch or a hug
every woman
young or old
very pretty or less so
sad or smiling
they are all still smiling
when he's leaving
my grandpa
is such a ladies man
that when he walks in
they remember him
and watch me
and I get the spillover
of lovin looks.
and I wonder
what my grandpa was like
twenty five years ago
and what it would have been like
if I could have been his wingman
and I know
I can learn a lot
from my grandpa
he has already
taught me so much
about living
about loving
my grandpa
is a ladies man
and I know
I've got his genes somewhere inside me
and I know
I've grasped his technique
and I know
his wushu is superior to mine
but I know
I can learn it
