An outstanding family, a model family.
A lovely family of beauty and grace.
A holy family, too.
Each day they prayed together
For the whole human race.
The couple was married
When they were quite young.
Loved each other and their
Four young children dearly.
Especially four year Kevin
Who lisped through his tongue.
The children never seemed to fight.
Unusual for children I think.
Melody the baby had big blue eyes.
Lorraine was the teen glamorous sixteen.
Eileen, the studious one in glasses
So pretty, graceful, she walked like a queen.
After dinner and prayers
They were all snuggled down
One night in the winter.
The TV was off, no noise in the house,
They started to snooze, when suddenly
Mother heard something splinter!
"Wake up George, listen
I heard something queer!"
"I heard nothing dear."
"Sh-h-h! George please
I know I heard something
Back of the house at the rear".
He sat up and listened
Then heard a strange sound.
Someone or something
Was prowling around.
"I'll get the dart dear"
Said he "for protection".
He opened the drawer
Took something small out,
Under his breath he was swearing.
Two men came tiptoeing out in the hall,
Swiftly opened the doors,
Ugly masks they were wearing.
A scene quite scary as they
Called the children to enter.
"Get out!" cried George in a loud voice.
"I've got a poison dart here
Which kills in seconds,
What's your choice?"
They turned, ran downstairs then
Out the door. Hurried away in the night.
Much faster than when they came in.
George and Ruth laughed till their
Stomach's started to hurt.
As George stood holding a fountain pen!
So tonight when you go up to sleep
Remember to put your pen upon the bed.
No need to listen for strange noises
In the night. Sleep peacefully
Without any worry at all.
With a weapon you have nothing to dread.
