Ordinary Family

These people could be in any family.

Ordinary Family



I’ve got Diabetes

from eating lots of sweeties.

My Mother’s got it too,

now all she eats is stew.



My big sister Millie

drinks wine until she’s silly.

No more a jolly frolic,

now she is alcoholic.



Our little brother Dale

took drugs and went to jail.

My cousin has Angina,

and so has Aunt Jemima.



Then there’s uncle Seamus,

who believes that he is famous.

His wife is Auntie Julia.

She’s also quite peculiar.



Sweet old Grandpa Evan

passed on and went to heaven

and evil Granny Belle

died and went to hell.



If your family’s wealthy,

or better still quite healthy,

I hope that it stays fine.

It’s not at all like mine.
