The Bees Knees in Three Watercolor Portraits by Bertie Brown

The Bees Knees in Three

original watercolor portraits

The Grandies are growing

older, it’s true

i’ve tried stoppin’ them

but what can ya do

now Sophie is 9

does gymnastics and dance

when she’s got the chance

she loves to do crafts

Annabelle’s 8

a whippersnapp-ee

plays piano and swims

and sings beautifully

the Wildman’s number 3

that’s Aaron, you see

he loves his play dough

and superheros

they’re all growing up

and what does that mean?

my sons are not teens

but middle age-ees!

and PopPop and me?

we hate to admit

we’re mature, just a bit

and, well, elder-ly : SH_T!

yet we ALL agree

in our fam'ly tree

those grandies are still

the bees knees in threes!
