In-laws
by dub W In-laws and outlaws and rabble of all kind People you can lean on, I'm sure they won't mind One you call mum the other by name Little ones to bug you -- it's all the same. Sometimes they say what a nice chap you can be The next day comes scorn for stealing sweet Bea Her sister spies on your most passionate moments Recounts all to her papa for some nasty comments. Her brother thinks it's nice to have a pal around Even shows you his stash not so easily found He wanted a brother; I guess you'll fit You be the catcher, he'll loan you a mitt. Then there's Aunt Bertha weathered and beat She'll invite you tea. Be prepared for a treat She'll wanna know your people -- who they might be She'll examine you thoroughly, every branch of the tree. Over the years so many in-laws you'll meet Some will be drunks; some will be sweet Some will think you are prince of a guy Others will gossip and give you "the eye". When all is done, the in-laws will be fine Just quirky old folks; nosey sometimes And of course they'll tell you what be right And the things you do wrong, even at night. But, love'm ya gotta; each every one Their daughter you married, the race is run So, Praise God for in-laws, the strange ones too They'll learn to love ya -- yeah, even you.
