I sat upon my grandpa’s knee
By Paul Goldberg
I sat upon my grandpa’s knee.
His head was bald as it could be.
He always wore a hat around
cause nothing grew upon that crown.
He said his hat would keep him warm,
but I thought it a displeasing thorn.
So there I sat up all one night
conspiring to amend this sight.
I kept watch, he slept instead,
so I tiptoed to that barren head.
Next morning as he sat up in bed
He discovered grass planted on his head.
