an aunt in a house by herself
used to have a husband
has a garden she likes to grow
loves the town despite it being bland
and works at the university
says she's half retired
regrets being a family rebel
but probably why she's admired
another aunt with a husband
in a bigger houses nearby
likes to buy expensive cars
costs driven skyhigh
she runs her own apartment spots
where folks pay her rent
she likes to say she's retired
but that keeps her hellbent
an uncle in that home does live
whose a chilled out kid
79 years old but young
and certainly alot of fun
we'd all used to go walking
near the lake side
and he'd tell us stories never boring
we were just along for the ride
so we'd go over
to my aunts
and eat food
like restaurants
and go to temple
as we were told
always learning
to be bored
but through it all
the memories stuck
they gave us a car
helped a bunch
the aunt'd scold
and call me shit
say my sister
was a better fit
so in the end i hated 'em
and avoided it all
but we finally returned
and had a ball
