My apologies to the Roarkies



Dear Roarks,

'Twas the week before Christmas, and you're 'bout to fest
The entire family was arriving, except Uncle Wes
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that Uncle Weston soon would be there.

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of Chubby - Uncy danced in their heads.
The kids were all crammed in one single room,
The pink room was open for that Uncley goon

When out of the blue Uncle Weston did call,
with word of his absence soon did reach all.
The Roarks were all mad and angry at him
They said they should have just invited Uncle Tim.

Uncle Wes did apologize for not having come
"The problem was flights and enough room for my bum.
Christmas time for travel is extraordinarily hard
I'm sorry for being such a big stupid tard."

The Roarks they said they had understood,
they'd see him soon enough and that'd be good.
So a promise was given by Wes to the Roarks,
"In spring I'll be seein' ya so keep the good forks."

As Christmas day came and gifts were all opened,
Little Kali was seen head hanging - she was a mopin'
Grandma asked her "whats wrong?" and gave her a hug
She said she missed her Wes even though he does bug.

Just then she did see an unwrapped gift,
"From Uncle Wes" it read - she bent to lift.
She opened it up to reveal nothing there,
The family did gasp some even pulled hair.

Kali giggled and smiled with such grand delight,
Her mom asked her why? Why was that alright?
She said, "oh Mom I just remembered right now,"
Uncle Wes is always here with us, wanna know how?

'Cuz he loves each and every one of us with all of his heart,
So he just sent us this gift so we could remember that part.
He wishes he could say before he has us in sight,
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
