SUFFIX - PREFIX PUNS
Mispronounce inter-family relationships *
And we bury the family - its security slips:
Anti -freeze divorced Uncle freeze at last,
After yesterday’s weather fore-cast, (maybe an aft-cast?)
She married an ‘im-migrant , a male arriver from abroad, *
Although he loved an ‘er-igrant, a female arriver, obviously a broad.*
At their wedding feast was abundance
Seen in the pastry two-step - a very merry dance.
She thought it selfish for though his trade was to sell-fish
They ate lobster-rific, huge monster lobster dish:
‘Twas subterranean (from bed of the Mediterranean)
A celibate creature , a sort of anti-climax crustacean.

Note
*Verb “to inter” means “to bury someone”
*Colloquial British English says ‘im and ‘er for him and her
