My Grandma

One stubborn granny...

My grandma’s pretty old school,

Her humour’s not the best.

She always complains to me,

She’s really such a pest.

 

My grandma can’t watch anything,

None of these ‘new movies’.

She never even watches Oprah,

Grandma claim that she’s a banshee.

 

“Oh, Grandma,” I would say

To try and fix her problem.

“TV and movies, they aren’t bad.

They’re really quite a gem.”

 

One day I sat her down,

“Watch this, I insist”.

The show had the past year’s movies,

All on a countdown list.

 

First up were the Twilights,

I said, “This was a popular flick!”

Grandma responded, “Vampires?

That’s totally unrealistic.”

 

I shrugged as up came Harry Potter,

I was sure it was a good pick.

But Grandma laughed and said,

“There’s no such thing as magic.”

 

I rolled my eyes and wriggled a bit,

Settling in for Inception.

“The main guy needs some help,” she said,

“And maybe some medication.”

 

Frustration set in as I grumbled and sat,

Waiting for Grandma to like one.

Eat, Pray, Love came on and she smiled,

“Now that’s realistic fiction.”

Author's Note

I actually adore Harry Potter. I just wrote this for my Writer's Craft summative. :)

Loved it :) thought this was pretty funny & a pretty good summary of what a lot of older people think of the movies this generation loves. Nice!
