Dysfunctional Family


In a pretty little house,

Behind a welcoming door,

Lived a perfect little family -

Consisting of four.


The father leaned back in his chair,

And sat silently thinking,

Of his wife and his kids -

He hadn't been drinking.


The mother - a beauty -

Cooked up dinner for eating,

And ate with her children -

She hadn't been cheating.


The son was a wonder,

His words could only sweeten -

With eyes big and bright,

He hadn't been beaten.


The daughter - a dreamer -

In her dreams, she was flying,

Slept sound in her bed -

She hadn't been crying.


I hate to admit -

I've been simply lying.
