Grounds for family pranks |
She opened the gift to find coffee grounds inside. "Is this the type of gift you give a to-be bride?" She wondered aloud to the empty room But it was too funny, she didn't give way to gloom. "They want coffee, coffee they shall receive," She strode to the kitchen, her fiance did perceive The determined tilt of her cute little chin And he felt some nervousness within. Quickly, he tiptoed to the kitchen where she Was brewing the meanest little cup of coffee. Who was it meant for? He must warn the recipient That 'pretending' to sip it is what would be prudent. When the guests arrived, he saw to his dismay That the blue mug hadn't been put on the tray. it was carefully separated from the others, And meant for the youngest of her brothers. She was there, she was looking (in fact, she was glaring) He couldn't signal a warning while she was staring. Her brother took the blue mug -- oh, poor chap He has taken a sip! Oh shoot, oh crap! He sweated while he watched his to be in-law drink What his fate would be, he didn't want to think. But then the guy smiled -- and gave him a wink "Don't worry," brother mouthed. "Ain't no stink." They'd grown up with each other, brother knew her ways She had been up to pranks through their childhood days. He wasn't really drinking, he was just miming And, when she turned her back, with perfect timing He threw the coffee in the flower vase and turned around Replied, "nothing" when she asked "what was that sound?" Sister rolled up her eyes, "You threw the coffee away!" "Well, you'd put something horrible in it today!" They laughed together, the whole family "It was just something spicy, to make it chilli!" Fiance asked his in-law to be for some tips To manage his bride when she pursed her lips. "Oh, she's the greatest joker, my big sister Don't get on her wrong side, understand, mister?" Yes, he did and he vowed ever to be good Isn't that just what a good bridegroom should? |
