Len Is A Granddad

The day had finally come and around 7 am the news came through and it was official Len was now a granddad new. His emotions got the better of him and his eyes began to leak tears of joy for this new 8lb baby boy. He felt like a bag of nerves now the waiting was through, and dawning his red and black leathers mounted his yellow Red Bull mean machine doing wheelies around the car park and yelling to everyone he met that he had joined that auspicious crowd because he Len was now a granddad and a proud moment in his life. With red eyes, he went to work his feet feeling like jelly, a big smile on his face and his brain going into a delirious state that his students had to look after him. Even the weather smiled with him with the sun and sky of blue as Len was now a granddad new. 19 January 2011 Author’s Note: This poem was written for a card that I made up and gave a friend at work when he became a granddad for the first time.
