Ode to a Sister-in-Law
Oh, masterful sister-in-law!
Gracious hostess, provider of playing cards
And massive slabs of barbecued meat.
How can I describe your many talents oh
Thou rememberer of all things directional?
Thou fair includer of friends olde and newe
For playing games and telling stories, embarrassing
And non.
Sharer of refrigerator, camper, and picnic table.
How does one describe thy virtues, thou
Leader of overboard outhousing?
Thou guider of husband, however futile.
Thou listener of father-in-law, however eternal.
Thou director of sisters-in-law whose only desire is
To lighten your load and receive your praise?
We bless you and praise your name to the heights
As an anchor in the householde of Sir Ronald.
Let me ring out the words of our hearts.
You done good.
