Baby Shower and Graduation Party

The baby shower

Mommy a beautiful flower

Games played

Baby names splayed

We were the winningest table

not anything like a sable

but lots of things!

Presents were books of fable

no rings

~

The husband's childhood work

was a special surprise— Daddy’s art in a book

he is so great, not a jerk

he is a catch — a hook

an artist even at a young age

maybe not for stage

he may be a sage

Handled everything cool

he is no fool

They will make good parents

Parents are already grandparents

My brother is the granddaddy

and my niece's husband will be a good daddy.

The graduation party

Was very arty

Party planner was grandma

Guess who was thrilled. The momma

The graduate is a great-niece

Her mom is my niece

Beautiful venue

A great view

~

It was at grandma’s house

she lives there with her spouse

Then arriving late — the graduate's daddy

His ex-mother-in-laws place

Some awkwardness in this space

My brother is the granddaddy

and he wasn’t at the ex-wife's home

I can’t get into that as this is not a tome

~

It was a great time, with delicious food

and great company put me in a good mood

I spent time with my brother in my hotel room

There was no gloom

I had dinner with a sister friend

No fight, no fright, we are tight.

Went to bed when there was no light.

Then I slept through the night.

The end.
