Ah, family, don’t they make you sigh?
Whimper, shout or even cry?

Do they frustrate you to the brim?
Hog the TV? Not let you in?

Did your sister gossip to her friend,
that your broken toe was on the mend?

Did mum make Shepherd’s Pie that night?
Or did she tell you off and have a fight?

Did Uncle Joe steal your box?
Your box full of horrifying shocks?

Did dad really work at nine?
Or was he paying for a parking fine?

Did your brother really eat
chicken-legs fat frog’s feet?

My family is a weird lot,
But I love them anyway, do you not?
