Family (Limerick) by ramtheman1
Families are the best, Sometimes they may jest, Others may act like a pest, But mostly they're full of zest. Families are always there, No matter how they show they care, But you know they won't stare, For it's impolite and they'll not dare. No matter the distance you're apart, Nothing stands between their hearts. Families stick together thru thick and thin, No matter what the circumstances have been. When you're down they'll give you a grin, They don't take you for a spin, They'll do there best to make you win. You don't notice for there's no sound, Although, families will always be around, They may not be spell bound, But some might be the talk of the town. They deserve to wear a special crown.

What? Where do you live? Families are fariy tales lady.

Ok it's not really that bad but you're sugar coating makes me gag. Really now some families are like that but some are like the ones where the neigbor kid comes over to make sure the kid gets fed because the parents are too strung out to do it themselves and then the parents make the neighbor kid do things a nine year old shouldn't even know about. Others are like the one where the kid goes off to college and the parents move and don't bother telling the kid. Then you have the ones were the dad is long gone, the mother is just barely done giving birth and the baby is in a dumpster.

I can't believe it! It's amazing that you mention a special crown for good families, because in my town that's exactly what we have! Every year, the mayor selects five outstanding families from the town and awards them the Family Prize for friendship, love and courage. This year my family was one of the five! We don't get a crown exactly, but we do get a special medal that we're allowed to wear on special occassions. I guess it's kinda similar to your crown idea! I love my family. -10-
