OBSERVING LARGE FAMILIES
My family is rather small,
Two parents–two brothers–that’s all…
Not much interaction
For outside inspection,
But her family’s having a ball!
–
Her party was a big crowd,
With everyone talking out loud…
Some got in more
While holding the floor
But nobody was there cowed!
–
Cousin Cathy brought Carvel,
An option that went around well…
Seconds were had
By several glad
That ice cream cake was a good sell.
–
Diana’s cheesecake too,
Diners tried to work through…
Unrefrigerated,
Soon mold-integrated,
It wasn’t worth keeping–boo hoo!
–
We sang Di. her birthday song,*
A day AFTER it belonged…
Parties short notice
Even with good motive
Take time for revelry long!
–
The next day, the other side
Of the family devised….
A luncheon good
At which Di. would
Be also pleasantly surprised.

* Di. is short for Diana.
