When in-laws clash
My blade is sharper, so they claim. And his hoe is blunt. Each voice raised is struggling to rise above the noise, eyeing for supremacy, living to convince, competing for dominance, quarreling to belittle, demean, and degrade. I found that armchair broken and fixed it. The chicken you ate when you paid your dowry was mine. So it goes. But both are travelers. Come harvest time,...

There we sat, a sunny afternoon The barbie lit, not quite enough flame Her father fans it, wife tries to explain Happy families. Two language game I’ve nothing in common, forgotten their name. I let myself go, release my sarcastic mood We’re all inane smiles personified polite He’s waving at the barbie dust on the food My wife hangs on to her rage...

MOTHER IN LAWS Mother in law’s are known to be interfering and feared, Be loving, for they are the brunt of jokes of how they are persevered, For they can cause chaos and absolute hell, But can be sweet and understanding as well, For which side of the fence, are you geared? I have a daughter in law who’s swell, I could...

Slice Ham So Thin, Your In-Laws Will Never Come Back
Slice ham so thin, your in-laws will never come back This pearl of wisdom came my way So many years ago A TV ad that to this day, The funniest I know It sliced and diced, did everything A kitchen chef could seek In fact, it claimed that it could make ONE tomato last a week! But best for me as I recall, Laughed so...

Daughter In Laws Baggage
Daughter-in - law's baggage. That mother - in - law will change Or accept me for who I am Seems difficult. Being the head of the family, She places orders to everyone, Me given the most orders Even my skillful assertiveness Doesn't convince her. "She did this","she did that" Echoes in my mind. Ego based relation is empty. How I wish she focused On my assets rather...
