My Nephew's only 10 and a proper little bloke
who likes to lark around and loves a funny joke.

He showed me maths the other day and taught me stuff as well;
then I showed him some of mine and his chest began to swell

because he got them right.

We teach
each
other.

No bother.

Go and get a shower I'm taking you out.

Hurry hurry hurry, no messing about!

Half an hour later he heard the crowd roar;
he shouted the loudest and my spirit it did soar.

It was our first live football match together
and it was a full house
and everything hung on the score
so we chanted until we were horse.

But we lost one-nil . . .

Still . . .

It was the best of all the days we've had so far -
he was mine from morn 'til night and he was a little star.

We stayed awake and shared the late night movie -
at 2am he thought that was really groovy.

His holiday is over now;
I'll see him very soon, though;

and until then we'll phone a lot
and share the odd daft joke

for even though he's only 10
he's a full-on funny bloke.
