My Six Relatives
MY SIX RELATIVES
My six relatives
Some act positive.
Some go negative.
Great maternal uncle of mine
Respectful, sincere, fine>
In my sky, as Sun to shine.
Though paternal uncle crooked,
selfish, envious, wicked
collected many hatreds.
Older cousin sister don’t know to be rude
always sending blessings in plenitude
shows me the mirror of my childhood.
One cousin brother behaves as villain
Vindictive, sadist, mischievous, insane,
But all his attempts to harm me went in vain.
My maternal aunt was of jealous type rather.
Always sought pleasure to hit and hurt other.
I kept distance all along, didn’t bother.
My paternal aunt was my closest aunt.
So many affectionate moments to grant
by my luck to enjoy and enchant.
