Best Relatively Poems

To see old relatives can get you thinking
if your health will also soon be sinking.
Will you get their shingles, bunions or bad knees?
Will you get dementia or need some surgeries?
And if afflicted, will you face it well or will you cave?
Or might you be the...

Albert Einstein was an interesting guy,
Indisputably smart and reputedly shy.
His legacy's statistical,
But had he been more egotistical,
Instead of E=mc2, he might have called his theory "Me, myself, and pi".

Frail and pale, oh! Can't you tell
That I have suffered a botched romance?
With open Heart, invited Hell
Though I assumed a fighting stance

But thus I learned, though I was burned,
(Always I succumb to fascination)
Perspectives glib, my Mind- a sieve! 
I mistook Love for Infatuation...

I've got one less relative than Snow White
alas, none of my six relations are a delight

Let me tell you about my cousin Regina
After childbirth, she's got a slack v'gina

when getting out of bed,
the hinges creak as...

And a new shiny car
A beautiful wife
Who is wiser than me by far
Got a talented little girl
And a good paying job
My life seems full of superlatives
Could it be that happiness and success
Are only relative?...

sitting on this old chair
waiting...
choked with despair
I hold onto
that one thing..
Was it care?
Im holding the breath of this cold air..

tentatively...gently...
are you there?...

With all of their imperfections 
They are a reflection of myself -
Ironic genetic selections

RELATIVELY TRICKY

I needed to choose six relatives
To form a “bubble” plus me.
I wanted to celebrate Christmas
During Covid restrictions you see.

All right, I know that makes seven,
One more than there ought to be.
But, if the police should come to check,
I’ll hide behind the settee.

But how to...

Last night I dreamed that I saw my grandfather.

He was at my doorstep and I didn't recognize his face.

I just wanted to feel his warm embrace.

I asked him: Who are you! and he told me his name.

My mouth dropped to the floor.

My emotions were at...

How exciting it is to be with you all again
Exciting to be breathing and not using a cane
An old geezer am I
At times still zip my fly
Overall though, I'm still RELATIVELY sane<>...
