Surgery On A Friday
I stood in for a short time for my daughter with my grandson
Surgery on a Friday
I'm going along for the day
My grandson broke his hand
His mom will not be there and
I will be a stand-in til she can be
Duluth has a good view to see
and some great sites to me
I love Park Point, Canal Park,
local and well-known eats
restaurants, cafes for meets
He is very nervous and unsure
what will happen for sure
a plate, and screws, who knew
some friends said, maybe glue

Mom didn't help with her share,
She is a nurse and does care.
We had a scare on the way
A driver went into oncoming
traffic and into the ditch! Hey,
that was bad, then coming
back into our lane, not hitting
anyone and not even missing
his place in line! I was insisting
we report what happened, this
so, I call, reported, not to miss
any detail. Then there he
was the Sheriff right where we
drove by, the guy turned off
on a road earlier. We did scoff.

Austin had anesthesia and sat
straight up, scared the staff at
the surgery center, said they
may have shat if a morgue, eh
Then they gave him gas
It put him right down - alas,
he had trouble waking until
his mom told him to wake, til
his grandma called his name
he was awake now no blame.
We had chicken at Popeyes,
we were tired with big sighs.
Austin, his mom, got phones
as theirs weren't charging.
I gave them Reiki for using
their phones for a time
before surgery. It's no crime.
I didn't even charge them a dime.
