Ode To Spontaneity

Farewell spontaneity my friend,
You have served me well,
But alas it will soon be time for you to leave us.

With Spontaneous applause long dead to all but a few,
Unplanned trips accidents waiting to happen,
Visits even to friends unannounced, no guarantee of a boiling kettle,
And too long sitting on a couch making a spontaneous move unlikely,
Your future looks bleak indeed.

Before you go,
Could you do me one last favour,
And give me a second opinion on my grandson,
As I think I have noticed a spark within him you could still ignite,
So your farewell party can be put off once more,
As life would be too boring without you.
