LOL! been there - done that. It's always good to go back and read the instructions. I'm guilty of that with new appliances as well.
I enjoyed reading this delightful poem my friend. So glad you posted it.
Blessings

Comment from dragonpoet
I thought everyone always locked their house/apartment doors at night. My question is did the kids live with their grandmother:? Why would they come to her house at night if they didn't. I hope she got up to send them home, if they didn't
We all read contest rules wrong at one time or another.

H Joan, LOL...my grandkids live a block away...when they come over...it is when they want to...LOL...I have no set time for them...or anyone else...thank you my sweet friend for a great review...love Linda xxoo

I can see you would like to see your grand kids whenever they are free. But when they know you are in bed is not a respectful thing to do.
You're welcome.

Hello L. Raven,
It's a lovely piece of poetry depicting its theme in an amusing way.
Matching the theme wording.
Smooth, spontaneous and enthralling flow from the beginning to the end with nice rhyming scheme.
Interesting, and worth enjoying time and again!

Comment from AshelinaB
This was great! How funny!
At first I was worried and thinking many dark thoughts. Then I got a little more than halfway through and grinned. Thanks for this!
If I had to make a suggestion, then I would say that I think that the last line of the third stanza has one too many syllables to go with the flow while the last line overall has one too few syllables. Perhaps you could take out the "and" between "come" and "play" and put an adjective before "grandkids." Just a thought!
...Hm, actually, I think the third stanza is fine. Haha, I too went back and checked. Best of luck in the contest!

Comment from Gloria ....
Fantastic, Linda. Too bad you missed the contest with this delight. Thank goodness you said it all in a lot fewer words than 1000, and told it just as well.
Superb dear woman. Love you!

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem. When there are small children coming to visit it is better to be save and lock the door. They may just come across something that will give them nightmares for life. Lol.

Comment from Dawn Munro
Hahahaha - that's for your notes, but also for that twist ending - I'm still grinning, Linda, and will be all night. You had me thinking there was something violent about to happen, and here it was just kids yelling! HAHAHAHA
Highly entertaining. :)))))

Hi Linda, LOL - I'm guessing they would have noticed the 900+ words short! It's a very good poem and I think I'm going to get up and make sure my door is locked!

Comment from Cass Carlton
Never mind about it being a few hundred words short, Sweetiekins, it is a gem on its own. I think you really enjoy being a Grandmother and used this opportunity to "show off" "just 'cos you can". However the words of this little charmer holds a note of truth. Yea ,verily ,I say unto you all children of your children are demons. Yea I say again, Demons. They sleep not, neither do they pick up discarded shoes and clothing. Their appetites are like unto the shark of the deeps that pursue and devour all manner of eatable things. All manner of mischief is of their doing, all lost, broken and otherwise misplaced items are subject to their will and domain.
But ,let us forget not their uncanny skill in restoring a sad heart to happiness, a lonely person to companionableness, with a smile, a quick hug, a kiss and the words "Love you Grandma, heaps 'n heaps" that make it all worthwhile. cheers Cass

Very cleverly written and the rhyming and rhythm are great. As a grandfather I understand completely. Well done and good luck.
