First summer Saturday syncs us all
Making all our problems appear small
Gain and reinforce family allies
And distance ourselves to those who lie
Looking at this with wide open eyes
Reunions are more than warm apple pie
Jealousy of those who have succeeded
Their harvest came because they seeded
Jack stole the plum pie and thought it was good
We knew the truth because Jack’s a hood
Some of the family were plum glum
Forgiving Jack thence love overcomes

Ah, perhaps it is a good thing such reunions come only once a year. I can imagine the gaining and reinforcing of family allies….and also the jealousies. Reunions sound like good ideas, but are they? Well penned.

I remember some pots are stirred up, but it usually works it self out.

Wrong day for me to read, ‘hood’. Reunions are odd affairs, negotiating interactions with few you know and more who you don’t.
