Our culture is a treadmill
With exercise for all
Dog-paddling is seen commonly
All ages big and small
Grandparents raise grandchildren
For reasons common three
Parents active absent
Or parents not fit to be
Conversely both are working
And money is too tight
To allow for daycare sitting
Its grandparent’s day to night
Others just seek closeness
Are there with much support
Take them to their lessons
And help keep them out of court
