I See Congratulations are Due

By Elton Camp

Our niece’s last visit had been a while
So we met her at the door with a smile
I wondered how she had got to be so fat
As we three chatted about this and that 

The truth gradually began to sink in,
I looked at her with a knowing grin
I was certain that it wasn’t a guess
She was adding to population excess

“To you and Bob congratulations are due.
Your only child was really one too few.”
My wife gave a sharp jab right to my side
A frown from the pain I tried hard to hide

I quickly found it had been a huge mistake
Her none-too-subtle warning not to take
Our niece blushed, her face fiery red
And this is the next thing that she said:

“I don’t appreciate you making fun of me.
I have only gained a bit as anyone can see.
It was in family friendship that I came here
After that insult, that I’ll be back never fear.”
