Classic Poem

I always shout when Grandma comes,
But Mother says, " Now please be still
And good and do what Grandma wants. "
And I say, " Yes, I will. "

So off we go in Grandma's car.
" There's a brand new movie quite near by, "
She says, " that I'd rather like to see. "
And I say, " So would I. "

The show has horses and chases and battles;
We gasp and hold hands the whole way through.
She smiles and says, " I liked that lots. "
And I say, " I did, too. "

" It's made me hungry, though, " she says,
" I'd like a malt and tarts with jam.
By any chance are you hungry, too? "
And I say, " Yes, I am. "

Later at home my Mother says,
" I hope you were careful to do as bid.
Did you and Grandma have a good time? "
And I say, " YES, WE DID!!! "
