A Halloween Ode to Caregiving

by

Sung to The Addams Family theme music


They creep around your house,
Ask questions of your spouse,
All your plans up they will louse,
Your Visiting Family.

You never ever see’um,
They make you want to scream,
Arriving for the season,
With them you cannot reason,
Your Visiting Family.

(Aloof)
(Absent)
(Nosy)

If you want them to not hang about,
Show them the carpets they can bang out;
If your caregiving they do hear about,
They’ll return home immediately.

They're needy and not helpful,
On your last string they will certainly pull,
Their suggestions can be filled with bull,
Your Visiting Family!

A Halloween ode to caregiving through the holidays
With great apologies to one of my favorite television programs,

The Addams Family
