No explaining what possessed an old man, a very old man
To play Cupid
He was the driver of record for the delivery of grandchildren
To school, camp or home again
Years of this much needed service were provided
Till the last week of camp this very summer
Actually till the third to the last day of camp
Which is when this very old man found out
The young lady most responsible for his grandchild
The most caring, professional camp counselor of all time
Was leaving to go back to school for the fall
Surprised but composed enough to ask where
The location and year of graduation were revealed
Mumbling thanks, the carpool continued while the old man’s mind scrambled
What had to be done was obvious
The next morning he revealed to the counselor
His eldest grandson was going to be a senior
Even thought the grandson should meet her
Enough said, planning was required
Grandson was called and asked if he would run the afternoon carpool
Even stated the purpose
The meeting occurred
But just as with the rest of our best laid plans
It’s out of our hands
Even if we are playing Cupid!
