Aunt Gladys: Family Problems Poem

Aunt Gladys

I once saw a cloud floating by in the sky

It looked just like my Aunty Glad

But we haven’t seen Aunty Glad in a while

Not since she moved in with my dad

I pointed the cloud out to Mummy who screamed

and growled before mopping her brow

“If that was your mean Aunty Gladys

it would be fat in the shape of a cow!”
