Poetcher



Poetcher/Best GP/Artist' ~ teeshirt from daughters:
Rosemary thinks it should be enframed for display,
yes, indeed ~ while I'm delighted, will show others;
'GP' is happy... & Grannie's entitled to have a say!

Nickname formed when Dylan was a schoolboy;
"instead of 'Grampa', you call me 'GP', I joked" ...
should have known better: became nickname-joy!
nowadays: the two initials are so familiarly liked?

Naturally, Dylan's sister, Keira, knows I'm GP too;
while 'nicknames, etc... actually have their place,
please think twice, before joining the jocular few:
may find self smiling on another side of the face?
