When grandma comes to visit dog poem jeanie axton

When Grandma comes to stay

When Grandma comes to stay

Bringing dog biscuits in her car

Parking in the driveway

I bark a hearty Hoorah

 

When Grandma comes to stay

I get to sit on her chair

While she does her knitting

She’s not fussed about the hair

 

When Grandma comes to stay

And we have a BBQ

She only has one sausage

But then she gives me two

 

When Grandma comes to stay

And I have muddy paws

She wipes them with a warm towel

Before I come through the door

 

When Grandma comes to stay

She likes to pat my head

When mum and dad aren’t looking

She says “Come jump on my bed”

 

When Grandma comes to stay

And falls asleep in the chair

I eat her afternoon tea

And she doesn’t care

 

When Grandma comes to stay

I know her love it never ends

My human soul mate

My very best friend
