Chaotic Summer
Every summer, like clockwork, they arrived
The wildest bunch of three kids alive!
My aunt, her bags,and the naughty offspring
Oh! the disruption and chaos they'd bring!
Wore down our bicycles rough and rash
Into every bush and fence,they seemed to crash.
Plucked all mangoes from our young tree
Laid claim on just about everything for free
Sprayed with the hose and just left it be
“Wind it up”, dad always ordered me
Unbridled greed for candy,cookies and such
Called for surveillance on each one of us
Running amok after crickets and frogs
Unleashed angry yelps from neighbors’ dogs
Flaunted,like medals,their cuts and scrapes
"Sissy",they yelled,if I asked for band-aids
Sometimes, I admit, they were a lot of fun
If stay was shorter, I would've grudged none!
In June, gladly, we should've said goodbye
So our family could've enjoyed a calmer July!
