New Year's Dinner

New Year's dinner,
all the kids came over.
We actually all got along.
At least until midnight,
when my baby got uptight
after being picked on all night
by her sister-in-law.

I call the evening a success,
after Christmas Eve's big mess.
Dead dogs, then jail, and “Come outside,”
was said by eldest male.
No fight broke out at grandma's house,
though emotions bubbled over.
I postponed our Christmas dinner.
Nobody came. It was not long enough.
Too many feathers had been ruffed.

New Year's brought a brand new start.
Just long enough to scab the heart.
