Blood is thicker than water?


They say blood is thicker than water

Maybe if you weighed it by the gram

Rule obeyed by every son & daughter

Ham it up when you are in your pram

A through strife of life transporter

With some families it can be a scam

Parents don’t love like they oughter

Sadly behave badly don’t give a damn

Should be your ultimate problem sorter

Even when your are in a real jam

Treat their offspring like a free porter

As your emotions they will just slam

We are just a lamb to the slaughter

As your devotions like a bull they ram

They should be your bricks & mortar

Older realise I’m in their folder of spam

Despite fact they should be a supporter

So with our friends the good times cram 

Because sometimes famalam is a sham
