Poetic Verses
Perfect Family
They seemed the perfect family
That's how it did appear
Until the light of day revealed
A different atmosphere.
Frank kisses up to in-laws
Being foolishly contrite
While Jo wants everyone to think
That she's extremely bright.
Billy often becomes adamant
Anytime he faces heat
But when he loses self-control
Will make a quick retreat.
Bev is busy selling Tupperware
Working hard to make a sale
But when she's not, will sit around
On her highfalutin tail.
Tom works two jobs to make ends meet
Ever striving to succeed
While Paula likes to give advice
She herself would never heed.
Jane is lauded as the princess
Who sees herself in mink
And Michael counts on Mary Sue
To tell him what to think.
Yes, they seemed the perfect family
That's how it did appear
Until the light of day revealed
A different atmosphere.
