IN HONOR OF MY GRANDSON CARLOS ON HIS COMING BIRTHDAY NOV. 2ND.

                    I MET HIM BEFORE HE WAS BORN,
                    THIS LITTLE TYKE
                    AND BEFORE HE TURNED FOUR
                    HE WAS RIDING A BIKE.

                    I ALWAYS FIGURED
                    HE WAS GOING TO BE IN SPORTS,
                    HE WAS ALWAYS PLAYING WITH THE FLOOR
                    USING HIS HEAD AS THE BALL.

                    I LOVE MY HANDSOME GRANDSON
                    HE'S AS SWEET AS HE CAN BE,
                    BUT IT BOTHERS ME QUITE MUCH
                    THAT HE DOESN'T LIKE TO READ.
