I Ask My Cousin

By Bud Lemire

I ask my Cousin, she knows all about it
She's researched it well, and has some great wit
I usually don't research, unless it's something I like
Like genealogy, or what looks great on my bike

She knows things, with business, life, and more
I'm lucky to remember, what to get at the store
She likes to be informed, and up to date
I try to be on time, just so I'm not late

I ask my Cousin, what's happening out there
She has her sources, and she's quite aware
For me, I just wonder, inside my mind
Always something happening, is what I find

Hey Cousin, what do you know
Have you looked out, to see a rainbow
She tends to pick up, on all the news
Me, I'm uninformed, but that's what I choose

There's enough to know out there, but what is true
Too much fake news all over, so what can I do
My Cousin lives it, she knows the truth is happening when it does
I always ask my Cousin, she knows what is and what was

Author Note:


My Cousin would be the first to tell you that she doesn't know
everything. One thing for sure, she likes to keep up on the
latest news and what is happening locally and in the world.
Many times it affects us in so many ways. She keeps me
posted on the important things that affect me as well.
Thank you Cousin, for the answers I don't look for
myself.
