Letters from Grandpa

One thing I love to do

Is write letters to Grandpapa

Because

You never know where it’s going to take you:

Octogenarians are a real wildcard

And that makes life interesting.

For example, I was writing a letter

To Grandpapa and he likes to imagine things

Because he can’t get around much

So I give the cat meat to feed on.

I embellish a little my romantic situation

And I tell him about M; little M

How she reminds me of my little mama

And that boys tend to look

For someone who is like a mother figure

And we grow into this role

We become more dependent on the girlfriend

Til she becomes like a second mother

But it never starts out that way.

So I was telling him about little M;

And when I receive a letter back

I notice a rather odd sentence

That I cannot help but laugh at:

“Dan, you say M; is smaller than you

All the easier to back her into a corner”

And then it follows on with some

Incongruent sentence about ‘me driving a car’

Now I’m not sure if we got lost in

Translation

I don’t know whether Grandpapa is thinking

I’m going to run M; over (she’s not that small)

Or whether he’s suggesting I invest in a booster seat?

Or whether in fact, he has made an unwholesome

But wholey funny link

Between me staying up all night

And my young ****** prowess

(Which is the same thing I suppose)

But I’m not quite sure why I’d be backing her

Into a corner

That sounds like outright pressure

But I have to laugh

Ah Grandpapa

Maybe one day I’ll show M;

Or maybe not

She may develop an irrational fear

For tight spaces

Which is something

I will never have a problem with...
