The Logic of Grandma

 The Logic of Grandma


“I want never gets”

Oh how I longed for it

Surely I could want it a bit

Happiness so close


“Them that ask don’t get”

But I just wanted you to know

How much I wanted it

And how I couldn't let go


“Them that don’t ask don't want”

But I wanted it more than you know

And if I can’t tell you I want it

Can I ask how I’ll know that you know


I admit that your logic defeats me

Even though I’m only five

But if I can’t get the things that I want now

What’s the point of being alive?


Mike O’Leary - November 2015
