My Extended Family

by Sebi Jimenez

Some of my family lives far away.
I would like to see them everyday.

Some of them live in the west.
My little cousin can be a pest.

Some are really mean,
and not very clean.

When we get together to celebrate,
We run to the food and grab a plate.

Us kids go out to play a game
While the grown-ups gossip in shame.

I can't wait till the next time we meet.
When I see them, it will be a treat.
