    In-law reunion song

    From time to time I have made up little goofy poems for birthdays and other events... I guess it's the lacquer. Anyway, several in-laws asked me to make up one for their reunion and put a tune to it and then sing it. They have their own country and western band in the family that plays every year, so I had to make up one with a country tune. I did it and they asked for another and then another. Being out of ideas about the reunion itself, I decided on something for my brother and I to do since we married two sisters from that family. The poem/song, or whatever it is, is two brothers who each can't keep his foot out of his mouth. We both do the first part, then my brother, and then me...brother...me and so on till the last, and it's both again.

    The question is, will I get beer thrown at me. Here it is.

    Bare with me... I don't know a thing about proper poem or song writing.

    We have the same mother
    we have the same paw.
    Yet we're not just brothers
    but brothers-in-law.
    We married two sisters
    from a good family.
    They are two beauties
    as you can see.

    And my wife is frugal
    yea she does real good.
    Cooks food in the chevy
    under the hood.
    But tryin to teach her
    has been a real dual.
    Cause she has a streak
    like an ole stubborn mule.

    Well my wife is so smart
    cause she picks my brain.
    Asks so many questions
    it drives me insane.
    But she has done better
    with all that she's learnt.
    Two meals in a row
    not a one thang was burnt.

    Well I married first
    the youngest of the two.
    Was tricked in to sayin
    I do I do.
    But one thang I'll tell ya
    I got the best catch.
    Whatever I want
    I just say go fetch.

    Well I am incensed
    by this that you say.
    For my wife's the youngest.
    Though premature gray.
    And you are a liar
    that caint be out done.
    For I got
    the subservient one.

    Oh please quit your whining
    your causing me strife.
    You sound a lot like
    my sweet little ole wife.
    But if she were to hear you
    say such a thang.
    She'd peel back those lips
    and show you her fang.

    Yea I know she flosses
    with double aught threads.
    But three words from my wife
    could rip you to shreds.
    But we know without them
    life might be worse.
    Here they come now
    do that first verse.

    We have the same mother.....

    Thumbs up

    Ernie,

    ROFLMAO

    From the way it sounds in my head I might be hearin' you on the radio. Put the others on a CD and you might be a country comedian. And then we could all say we knew you when you was a woodworker.

    Literally LOL, Ernie. Not sure about the beer, but I'm guessing you'll both know the couch on an intimate basis for a while after the reunion. I'd say it'll be worth it, just to get a reaction out of the rest of the family.

    I thought woodworker was a step up from a country comedian?

    That is terrific, Ernie! If they don't have a sense of humor just make sure the beer is served in paper cups. If they know you they know what to expect. Very funny!!!

    That's funny Todd. The thing is, I did grow up in the country and around a few people who talked this way. It's where my brother's and I got all of our jokes.

    These people do know mw somewhat and I think they will all receive it as it is meant.

    I LOVE it, Ernie. You just gotta get someone to get a video of ya'll, AND the crowd, (especially the wives) when you do it though. It will be a lot of fun to watch when you're 80, and the Grandkids will get a kick out of it too.
