Best Auntie Poems

If I was Auntie Mame, I would be excited about everything.
Kicking up fun wherever I am invited.
Even places I’m not, but everywhere being the zing.
Bringing people together, making them united.

Sure I am welcome, not aware if...

Auntie

In her lofty ways, she was always
the best example of
the stars out-shining the moon.

Her ways of doing things always
correct and proper
she was a student of the Queen.
Place setting and
China decoratively graced the table
per the law of “Good Housekeeping”
Seating arrangements were labeled.

Without a P.H.D she could...

In her lofty ways, she was always
the best example of
the stars out-shining the moon.

Her ways of doing things always
correct and proper
she was a student of the Queen.
Place setting and
the china on the table all had to
be per the law.

And no PHD could outwit her with

Auntie May came to visit,
and sat in daddy's favorite chair. 
I looked behind her head,
but all I saw was hair.

I snuck into her room.
Her suitcase was on the floor.
I took a peek inside, then
Auntie May walked in the door.

"Why are you in my room?"
She loudly...

Yesterday I received Auntie Mabel’s annual spring note
She wants to know how, in 2024, I will cast my vote
She's concerned that the U.S. will elect another old goat.
She has finally had her troublesome tooth pulled, I note,
Her latest ailment seems to be she has developed...

Auntie Millie


Here lies our dear, sweet Auntie Millie

Well-known to do things willy-nilly

Prepared a noon meal she thought dilly 
 
And choked on red-hot-pepper chili

Who knows what happened to Auntie Ann?
We've tried to find out, as best we can—
scoured the papers, followed the news,
and still we don't know how we could lose

that Annie just gave in...

Gilly darling dont do that
You don't know where it's been
And put our hat on there's a love

Or will you take a lolly?
Oh Gilly darling don't do that
I'll have to tell your Mummy
Now sit here on the beach...

I remember your fun times, 
You had a heart of gold,
Kind, fun, generous and warm.
May you now Rest...

Yesterday, I received Auntie Mabel’s end-of-the-year letter
Seems, after another bout with arthritis, she is some better,
She reports that Aunt Lula Fay’s nephew is no longer in fetter
But, unfortunately, he’s only out on bail, she being his “setter.”
Sid, Auntie Mable tells me, will never be much...

This actually had happened many, many years ago to my eldest sister.
Oh my, what children should not hear, for they instantly repeat what some 
adults say.

Grannie, I just heard what Auntie...

The great spirits began to dance their thanksgiving song
Grandmother Forest watched with pride and thoughtfulness
Auntie Running Bear had formed Brother Fire, and was seeking
Truth from her nephews’ spirit animals.

Wise Owl was there, summoning his power animal.
Hooting in the trees verified he had reached his inner...
