In the pink




















Grandma was a mobster
her truck was painted pink.
She'd haul a load of lobster,
and clean them in her sink.

Everyone knew Grandma
and listened for her horn.
Today she mowed down Grandpa
bent him over in the corn.

She cried all night and day,
until she bought that mink.
Insurance paid her way
for piercings and some ink.

A ring went in her nose,
a diamond in her tongue,
A tattoo of a rose,
but she'd only just begun...

In-the-pink.

  2. Poor Grandpa got the sack,
    Tossed into the ground.
    While after her attack,
    Grandma fooled around?

    1. His hearing aid was spent,
      The day that he got bent.
      She wears it as a charm,
      Never meant him any harm. :)

  5. See a lot of pink trucks these days in support of breast cancer victims. This reminds me of Grandma got run over by a reindeer.

    1. One of my friends drives a pink Ford pick up... a pink roses wreath on the grill, in memory of her daughter. Maybe we could campaign for Rudolph to glow pink on the memorial day.

  8. I love pink.
    It don't never stink.
    I laughed at poor old grandpa.
    I guess he didn't think.

    Love,

    1. Grandpa knew the truck,
      But he was outta luck.
      Her horn was sounding loudly,
      While he shucked corn, proudly.
      His hearing aid was spent,
      His own dang fault, he's bent.
