My family

by CD Richards

Have you met my sister named Fran?
She swears, some would say, like a man.
I will not repeat
words said in the heat
of the moment, so this line won't scan.

My mother's whole name is just "Ruth",
this story I tell is the truth.
Her boyfriend was "Sting"
and this is the thing,
they're both now quite long in the tooth.

My eldest male child is called Will,
his favourite saying is "chill".
But he's not so cool,
the silly young fool
just now burnt his hand on the grill.
