MY  ***** BUDDY, MY  GRANDDAUGHTER

She is only nine,  and yet at  66, a friend in me, she does see.

Her  "ten year old toy",  she often cuddles; this she  cutely calls me.

Does my manicure, pedicure  and at times,  even applies  mehndi,

Makes  hair styles on my grey, to make me look trendy

We draw, paint, do  craft; and in singing and other creativities, also indulge;

At times, she rides upon me, calling me an alligator with  a bulge.

For a while uno we play, often also jumble words or  scrabble.

Whilst studying Geography with the game Atlas and  a globe we dabble.

But to make her actually study,  is a difficult task  indeed !!!

At times,  becomes she, a baby and feed her I have to; literally spoon feed

Insists she,  I share her food , lucky I am, from her  chocolate to get a lick.

Willing she  is,  even to share her favourite  popsicle stick.

My cheeks she pulls , or  my  neck she plays with,  calling me, "Fuzzy " ; her  pet

Anyone would fall in love with her charming ways; about this, I can  easily  bet
