Outta Your Lane

Our Julyfourth cookout
was down at the Shore
There were frisbees, air balls
cold beers and more
Phil flipped the burgers
and boiled buttered corn
Key Lime pie donuts
came courtesy of Lauren
Cousins Jim and Skip
talked rival college teams
The younger girls whispered
boys of their dreams
Gramps and Uncle Gabe
sat and took it all in
The sisters on mom’s side
had a permanent grin
But Uncle Gabe kinda
spoiled the holiday
Brought up politics
in a confrontational way
Most folks turned
to evacuate the spot
But Gramps got riled
and gave his best shot
You’re outta your lane
over your skis
stuck in the mud
blowin’ in the breeze
That’s the way we think it is
Makes us say: Come on what gives!
We’re all here to have some fun
Test the surf, enjoy the sun
Our Christmas Eve party
took place at Lauren’s home
Jill brought her boyfriend
whose name was Jerome
There was all kinds of food
and liquor as well
Lots of new stories
to laugh about and tell
Out-of-town family
put gifts by the tree
My sister Joan’s toddler
was content on her knee
Gramps and Uncle Gabe
sat and took it all in
Skip tried to keep their words
centred on kin
But no, Uncle Gabe
had other stuff to say
Politics once more
in a confrontational way
Nobody warned Jerome
who said what he thought
Now Gramps says Jerome
is the best guy Jill’s brought
You’re outta your lane
over your skis
stuck in the mud
blowin’ in the breeze
That’s the way we think it is
Makes us say: Come on what gives!
We’re all here to have some fun
Eat some cake, drink some rum
