War Parents and Peace grandsons



Beam bridges with brief passages

'How many bridges had you blown off?'

As I questioned

My war hero grand-dad

With side whiskers and bush moustache

Hiding an impish chuckle

And a jovial twinkle

Lit his cigar walking

Straight with army pace

Shrinking nose for

My caitiff trace.

Droopy bumpy beamy bridge.

Shaking , scaring step by step.

Down beneath river went roaring

The roar of spent up wars

'Do you wish blowing more?'

'No, I wish building more.'

His guffaw echoed

Around the valley
