ABC Wednesday, brought to you by the letter “G.” Silly and fun – what I imagine Blanche Laughlin would be if she were alive today – glued to my cousin Gregg’s computer! Amy
Grandma Googles
Goodness gracious,
Grandma’s gone Google!
Grinning before Greggie’s gizmo,
a grand gadabout without
the gas-guzzling Greyhound .
Grannie’s grey but full of ginger;
fingers glide with gusto as she
gets to tour the Guggenheim
in its glory and grandeur, gushing,
“Gracias, ye gods of gigabytes!”

My mom never really got into Google, but she LOVED Free Cell. Kept her mind working.

My grandma actually died when I was five, but it’s fun to think she would have latched on, remembering her fondness for crosswords and other brain adventures. Thanks, Roger! Peace, Amy

Skilled handling of all those G’s…you’ve pegged it. I like the bit Granny touring the Guggenheim…very visual 🙂

The Guggenheim was from a thought I had that, had my dad survived to see the Internet age, he would have been all over the world. Thanks, Cynthia, for stopping by, and I will take a look at your work, too! Peace, Amy

Thank you for visiting my blog and for your lovely note! I love your silly G poem (Grandma’s gone Google! is my favorite part) and the others I read on your blog….so much so that I signed up for emails so I won’t miss them in the future. I enjoyed my time with my coffee and your blog this morning…..ahhhh, peaceful!
Have a great weekend!

Hey, everyone is lucky I didn’t mention her “G” string, and I ain’t talkin’ the guitar, LOL. I signed up for your blog as well, so we can be yet another mutual admiration society. Isn’t it nice to get poetry in your inbox? Like having M&Ms scattered on the sides of the plate along with the meat loaf!! Peace, Amy (fellow Java Kitten)
