Robert Andrew Lyle Poet Rhyme

Just Left

I have never seen so many 
Of my family in one place 
Our little house is so full 
That there’s very little space 
  
My brothers and my sisters 
Aunts and Uncles, cousins too 
Friends I knew from years ago 
I can’t believe this is true 
  
Their lips are busy moving 
But I don’t hear a noise 
Seems this room of people 
Have all lost their voice 
  
They’re filling up their glasses 
While smiling all the time 
As someone in the kitchen 
Opens another bottle of wine 
  
I try to join festivities 
To grab a piece of cake 
This feat too beyond me 
These people are at my Wake
