Visiting
When I visit Auntie Kate,
she takes the biscuits from my plate.
When I visit Grandpa Jones,
he jokes that he might grind my bones!
she holds my hand and won't let go.
When I visit Cousin Dot,
she says' You'd fit my stewing- pot!'
When I visit Brother James,
he teases me and calls me names.
But if I visit Uncle Jack,
he says 'Be off! And don't come back!'
And when I visit nephew Sue
ReplyDeleteShe says there should be more like you!
You certainly have a colourful set of relations!
ReplyDeleteYou should visit grandma Jo,
ReplyDeleteshe'll tell you she loves you so!
nice one Jinsky!
ReplyDeleteStay away from Aunt Dot!
ReplyDeleteI mean Cousin Dot....
ReplyDeleteAh, relatives....bless 'em!! :)
ReplyDeleteLOL...I love this...and all around food as well...my husband is constantly snitching things from people's plates...thinks it a lark...a joke...and so this sounds much like my family ...LOL. Thank you for visiting, Jinksy...your kind words, and encouragement mean so much to me as I so greatly admire you, your talent, and your poetry...and your kindness to me personally as I remember my mom this weekend means more to me than I can find words to convey! ~Janine XO
ReplyDeleteOooo, Ms Napples, I think you'd enjoy our porch! Plenty of ammunition to keep the neighbors at bay. And free alcohol. See you there....
ReplyDeleteWhat fun this is; relatives on parade.
ReplyDeleteOh my, you have a bunch of nasty relatives, if nothing else they must scare you to death. LOL
ReplyDeleteI so enjoyed your post today and just had to comment. You have a natural talent and to share it with all of us is wonderful. Loved reading about your relatives. Thank you
ReplyDeleteWhat is it about Uncle Jacks? I had one too. He didn't tell us to go away and not come back though - he was the 'tease 'em till they cry' type.
ReplyDeleteI loved the quick run around the relatives! We all have those oddities, don't we? LOL!
This one is fun! As a kid one never really knows what to do with these relatives, do you? But it sure becomes fun relying on their peculiarities.
ReplyDeleteI have an aunt called Trijntje,
ReplyDeletean uncle named Ruudje and people who can, call my father Uncle Dolly (his real name is Adolf, which for reasons well-known isn't a popular name anymore in the Netherlands)
and my mother Aunt Klaasje.
Try to wrap your tongue around that. Those are true relatives and names by the way ;-) Although Oom (uncle) Ruudje isn't with us anymore. He decided to leave this world a little early.
