Family Dinner
January 2011 (9th Grade)
True Story!

Mother decided to try a new recipe.
What is it? We'll see...
Shrimp, sweet peas, and rice.
Isn't that nice?
We all took one bite,
then we saw Daddy's eyes fill with fright.
Even mother wouldn't try it.
Maybe we should have fried it...
We didn't make conversation,
just exchanged looks of desperation.
Brother went to get the phone,
but he wasn't alone.
I got the coupons.
Mother layed money out on the table to count on.
Sister cleaned the table.
Daddy checked the gameshows on cable.
It was almost time for bed,
so we got pizza instead.
