THE OLDER I GET THE BETTER I WUZ


Grandpa did you ever play baseball?
I signed a contract with Pittsburgh Pirates
You played in the manors?
Well no the arm--reality I knew
I remember the championship game
The bases were loaded I was wining run
Did you hit a home run Grandpa?
Well---a triple but it tied the game
OK, we lost in extra innings
Did you ever sink the winning shot?
I sure did--we won the seventh grade championship
The older you get the better you wuz
It is hard being a hero to little boys
Today I stand on the sidelines watching my boys play
The youngest scored five goals in four games
His team finished third in state
Kelsey's volleyball team fourth in state
She the most inspirational player
Oldest Grandson getting letters from colleges
I am living my dreams in their games
The older you get the better you wuz
