my cousin betty lou

she tells me about her

cousins.

jimmy, sally, don and rick,

betty lou.

she goes on and on about

them.

my cousin did this, my

cousin did that.

they sound like wonderful

people, interesting

and busy with their lives.

living abroad, 

taking trips, getting married,

having babies

and all of them

getting along.

i need some cousins.

i haven't seen any since

the 1970's, maybe i should

reach out and give

them a call.
