Gee, grandma, what's that pump in your tummy?
That stuff in the bottle doesn't look very yummy.
Why are you laying around for so long?
Goodness grandma, did something go wrong?

Grandma get up and come play with me
We'll play on my Playstation - you can't beat me.
Why do your eyes look so dull and hazy?
Did that doctor do something to make you lazy?

What is a gall bladder - what does it do?
Did it quit doing its job on you?
Why do you walk holding onto your side?
Guess that means there will be no bike ride.

Why aren't you hungry, you really must eat.
You have to hurry and get back on your feet.
I can't stand being here all alone.
Remember grandma, your gall bladder is gone.

Maybe I'll sit and write you a letter.
I know my pictures will make you feel better.
Oh no! Not back to the potty again.
Poor grandma, does this misery ever end?

I'll leave you alone now so you can rest.
I want you to know that you are the best.
What I'm really trying so hard to say
Is come on grandma - get up and play.
