grandma's pretty lucky!

my mom's heart,
she was grabbing it,
but i didnt see it give.
barely a whisper,
but i heard.
and there she was,
chattering.
911 was quick.
hux? yes daddy?
we gotta get up and go,
i called an ambulance,
grandma needs go 2 the hospital.
really! is she gonna die?
no, but let's hurry.
okay daddy.
red sirens, vroommm, vroommm!
just 2 blocks away, wow!
we were w her in the emergency room til 3am.
hux and i ate the worst kosher veggie burger,
and the hardest nyc pretzel, ever.
we were starving.
it's a good thing we like ketchup & mustard, hux said.
we laughed.
i ate it all, hux got some chips.
all in all, i'd say, we felt pretty blessed sitting in the cafe
@ 1:30 in the morn.
we'd take the bad food over safety any day.
safe!
hux great, great aunt gertie, who was 102,
died this day.
good genes they say.
she's not related.
still!
so, she'll eat more sacred chow!
yeah, hux said, grandma's pretty lucky!
