Getting Rid of Granddad

Granddad is still here; I wish he’d disappear. I think it’s time he went before all his money is spent. I know he’s filthy rich — Oh, how my fingers itch to rob his stash of cash, then I can make a splash and lie around in the sun with girls just having fun. That old geezer’s eighty-seven. I wish he’d toddle off to heaven. It sure would make my day if he was out of my way. But he keeps on going strong — what am I doing wrong? I hit him with a brick, and slipped him a dose of arsenic. I tampered with his brakes; I also put some snakes in his underwear. I half-sawed the legs of his chair. I even dug a pit, hoping he’d fall in it. But he just outsmarts me, and now he’s a hundred-and-three.
