Grandpa Changes the Baby

 

By Elton Camp

 

“Dad, I need to run down to the grocery store.

Wanna watch Junior as you’ve done before?”

He told his daughter they two would be okay

That he and baby would enjoy a chance to play

 

She hadn’t been gone but a very short while

When he smelled an odor very rank and vile

Grandpa started to call her on her cell phone

Before from the house she was too far gone

 

He thought, “Hey, I’ve done this a lot before.

So I can surely handle just one time more.”

The last diaper change had been many a day

But he had no doubt that he recalled the way

 

But as he got started, he suddenly did recall

He had changed diapers wet, but that was all

When his own baby had done “number two,”

Then that had always been his wife’s job to do

 

Grandpa whispered, “Oh, my goodness, darn.

This cute baby smells exactly like an old barn.”

But his grandchild’s need he just had to meet

So diaper removal and clean-up he did complete

 

Just as he was about to put a clean one in place

It was a stream of urine that hit him in the face

In the future, when that occasion arose again

“Why don’t we all go?” he said with a grin
