A Family Story

There needs to be vanity,
Or a dark twist to the story.
   A demon angel, Michael
Basking in his glory.

   Then there must be a 
Wicked witch from the West.
   She is beautiful, evil
And self-possessed.

   If you delve deep into the 
Family history, a hint of incest.
   Its genetics altered
And unprocessed.

   A deranged and crazy
Mother-in-law.
   A daughter that dances
In the raw.

   A crazy, twisted step
Mother.
   A perverted, baby making
Older brother.

   The cousin who has six kids,
Baby's daddy's unknown.
   This is more twisted
Then The Twilight Zone.

   We cannot forget about
A monster or a beast.
   The older brother confessing 
His sins to the local priest.

   A young prince, dark,
Handsome and tall.
   We need a gypsy lady
With a crystal ball.

   This tainted bloodline,
Estranged family diversity.
   Generations its riddled
With scandal and perversity.

   The young prince, his father,
A man of color, a peasant.
   It makes family gatherings,
A little unpleasant.

   The queen ran off with a 
Carpenter who has only one leg.
   He is 67 years old, his seeds
Can't fertilize her egg.

   The young prince is not
Like the rest.
   He has aptitude, class and 
A touch of finesse.

   The young prince has a chance,
He must break away from the clan.
   I need to hurry before,
The changing from boy to man.
