Whenever grandma did the laundry
Grandpa would go to town and steal
Sometimes he just stole candy
But, one time he stole a wheel
And grandma never knew it
Grandpa was a sneaky cuss
Until the Sheriff came a callin’
Haulin’ grandpa off in cuffs
Now, grandma was a sly one
In her own respectful way
She loved old grandpa feircly
And she couldn’t let him stay
Locked up in a jail cell
Full of criminals and such
So, she packed up the Sawsall
And went to town in their old bus
Sneaking ’round the jailhouse
She peaked into the room
Where grandpa paced the jail cell
Red-faced a rose in bloom
She gave him a “come-hither”
And at the window did he squint
She cut those bars right out of there
And out the hole he went
That was twenty years ago
We’ve never seen them since
A bank was hit that very night
And, still today it makes some wince
To think our two grandparents
Would end up on the lamb
As that apple didn’t fall too far
You’ll never guess just where I am
Three cheers for them both!

What’s a guy gonna do? Well, there were two typo’s, but they should be resolved. I don’t let other people’s typo’s bother me, but mine drive me crazy! ;-)))
