User blog:Discofurby/Rhyming Recaps: The Old and the Restless

Lincoln was visiting his grandfather pal,

Named Albert (his nicknames were Pop-Pop and Al).

He'd thought of all kinds of cool stuff they could do,

When who would show up but a strict nurse named Sue?

She said, "That's not safe. You two stay here instead."

"Well, that's fine," said Lincoln, "Let's both swim instead."

Pop-Pop agreed that a swim would be cool,

But Sue was a killjoy at the retirement pool.

They tried to play Twister, but old Sue said, "No!".

Scoots sneaked some pudding, then off she did go.

Pop-Pop got into bed and said, "Sue knows what's best.",

But Linc said, "You're old, but you don't need to rest.

Let's do what we used to and paint the town red."

"Sounds good," said Albert, and he got out of bed.

"Well, I guess you could go for a while," said Sue,

"But I'll kick the guy out if he misses curfew!".

They went to get lunch, where Al ordered plain food.

"Your stomach's not weak, you're a healthy old dude,"

Said Lincoln to Pop-Pop, and Pop-Pop agreed,

So he swapped his order for a tastier feed.

Then they danced, and played games, and they mountain-climbed too,

But Pop-Pop stopped caring about his curfew.

He went to go bull-riding and Lincoln gave chase,

So his grandfather wouldn't get shooed from his place.

Al rode on the bull and continued from there,

To appear on TV in just his underwear!

When he took those off, Lincoln covered his eyes,

Then Pop-Pop went onstage and dove from the skies.

He said, "You were right. We need to go back."

"Don't worry," said Lincoln, "We're on the right track."

Sue had locked the door at one minute to six,

But Scoots, Bernie and Seymour knew a few tricks.

To keep Pop-Pop in, they knew just what to do:

They linked up their canes and they lifted them through.

While Sue was distracted, they gave him the key,

And Lincoln and Pop-Pop got inside. Whoopee!

But Sue had been waiting inside Albert's bed.

"Now you are out on your keister!" she said.

But Scoots scooted up and said, "Hold on there, Shrew,

If you kick him out, then kick me out too."

Sue didn't mind, but then Pop-Pop's old friends,

Said, "Then, this is where our stay at this old place ends."

Sue then gave in and she let them all stay.

Then the seniors all partied and shouted, "Hooray!".
