Modern Family

Modern Family (A Christmas Story) Little parasites wake up early To tie me up in knots They take my shoes that do not fit them And my wallet too Finished off my mini-bar and crashed the car Emptied my bank account Wished me Merry Christmas I wish them my open fist when I get loose They used my favorite twine to tie me up this time Left the dishes in the sink to do them selves The bums are having too much fun to do their chores I cannot go to work with naked feet How could they steal my shoes those little creeps The one good bit of news is this The credit cards have all expired Being poor has some advantages My parasites have names Hooligans, wife and kids My own personal crime syndicate I call them friends and family

I don't know if I should laugh or cry at this one. It is written brilliantly though.

Hi Brenda, You can laugh. Most of my works are inventions. I was just toying with an alternate concept of "Modern Family." I'm sure there is some truth to this one. Thank you so much for commenting. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Take care. Earl
