Jersey Ed's Big BBQ Bash

“There's no other love, like the love for a brother;

There's no other love, like the love from a brother.”

 

Astrid Alauda

 

 

While I was gone for the day

Relaxing at a Flea Removal Spa

I got yet another urgent phone call

It was from our very perturbed Ma

 

“Your two brothers are bickering again,

I want you to make them stop, Pee Wee.”

So, on behalf of our beloved old mother,

I immediately contacted my brother, Jersey

 

“Oh, all right, Pee Wee, just for dear old Mom,

I’m gonna stop fighting with brother Edvard.

Hey! I know! How about a big barbeque?

We can have it on the 4th, in my backyard!”

 

But now, it seems I have yet another huge problem

I remember the last BBQ held at old Jersey’s place

His skunk and possum road kill dishes really stank

And he had no beer – I still remember Edvard’s face

 

It seems that each and every time we get together

Jersey Ed and Old Edvard get into another fight

And good old Rufuz and I have to break them up

Which fills neither one of us with very much delight

 

But I really hate to send him an RSVP that I can’t make it

But Jersey’s cooking really does suck, and I can’t fake it

And he always spends so very much time, trying to make it

 

But maybe if we’re real lucky,

It will rain, really, really hard,

And he won’t be able to bake it,

And if we’re really, really lucky,

He’ll never have that recipe again

 

Lord, please let it rain this Fourth of July,

Because I know in my heart, Edvard’s gonna cry,

When he finds out – there’s no Coors – yet again…

 

 

Dear Mother,

At least I tried,

But if you ate Jersey’s Road Kill,

I think, you, too, would cry.

And I can already hear old Edvard,

Lamenting the fact there’s no Coors;

“Damn It. Why? Oh, Why? Oh, Why??!!!”

 

Your Loving Son,

Pee Wee

 

PS: If we don’t drink all the Mad Dog 20/20,

I’ll send you a bottle.

 

PPS: But if it does rain on the 4th,

I’m sure you’ll be hearing from Jersey:

 

“Dear Ma,

I don’t think that I can take it,

‘Cause it took so long for me to make it,

And I’ll never have that road kill recipe again;

Oh No, Oh No, Oh No!

 

PS:

Ya got any Bug Recipes, Ma??!!

 

Your Cooking Son,

The Jersey Devil”

 

And, of course,

Old Edvard will be penning his, too:

 

“Dear Ma,

 

No damned Coors – Again!

 

Your Really Upset Son,

Edvard”

Maybe this time the barbeque will be the turn around you have all been searching for. Maybe, just maybe a better source of food will be found too. PPPPS. No Coors? How about Bud???

Be always safe,
Karen

The can just put a tarp over the barbequing and have it anyway. I do so love barbeques but not road kill kind and picnics are so enjoyable to me. My family does not get together enough to suit me but when we all do it is a blast. Get together anyway on the 4th and celebrate with the brothers and Mom and have a good time. Don't be a spoilsport per se.

An interesting family you got there. That "road kill" really zapped my appetite. Now, all jokes aside, that is one cute poem.

Rain or shine,
The BBQ will go on just fine,
The hell with Coor's,
Instead we'll have homemade wine,
Squished grapes with my lil' footsies,
And for Edvark I will make him something special
Cured & pickled in a solution of brine...JD & RufuZ
