Grandma, 
who bore seven children,
rambunctious and noisy,
marveled
over my great aunt,
who raised six children,
so well-behaved
that following a meal
she would direct them
once
in a very soft voice…
they would immediately
clear the table
and
wash the dishes.

Smiles Perhaps it was
Genetic Great Aunt
Introvert and Children
too.. Grandma
All Extravert
And
Children too
i’ve surely seen
this Happen In the
Loud Half and Silent
Half of my family too..
Lord Knows it even Happens
though among Identical Twins
my Theory is likely Out of Order too
Nice to See You Lynn in the Middle Perhaps
this is a sign
that i
will
End for now too..;)
