Farewell Party

Leaves are falling, summer's going
Grandma's feeling blue.
We didn't get together much
Each day kept racing through.

So let's have a "Farewell Party"
To all those summer days
Come on over to my house
We'll eat and laugh and play.

Dinner at 6:30 this coming Thursday night
Fried chicken and your favorite pie
So bring you appetite.

So Ali, Kyle, and Cory come, Aubree, Ryan too
And how I wish that we could have
Heather, Nate and Andy.

This invitation goes to all -
The sisters and the brothers
And also you can bring along
Your dads and then your mothers!

But remember it's your special night
For age 13 down to 9
The table will be set for you!
While others at the bar will dine.

Then what we really need is
For them to eat and run
So we can have our cozy night
Of games and laughs and fun!!!

Love,
Grandma
