I winced at that—didn't know what he meant, but I don't ever like to see that word. That's my peeve, my personal n-word. I don't even like it when folks use the n-word on evil-doers, as, to me, there was no greater evil.
But I thought the poem itself was clever, and I especially liked the image of the grandmother. On first read, it seemed (with that major exception) like a very sweet tribute. But I'm a better writer than I am a reader, and maybe others' insights are correct.
On a board such as this one, it's certainly block-worthy, as it had a few jabs, but I thought it showed some talent. (And those jabs seemed to me to be handled in sort of a friendly way, rather than a poking fun way. But I must be naive.)
