Grandpa's yelling kill them all,
screaming at the guy with the pigskin ball.
Grandma's in the kitchen yapping about politics
uncle Ned screams put a sock in it.
Lilly's on the couch with her teddy bear,
bet no one knows shes there.
Daddy's in the back yard chasing the bird with a shot gun,
buck shot is always fun.
Old nanny is sittin on her fanny,
says those black folks ain't riding her bus,
FYI she thinks it's 1961.
Momma and her sisters reading the ads,
gonna stop you down in Walmart for their new church hats.
The cousins in the yard playing ball,
oops look Lenny had a fall.
Wait till dinner when the real fun begins,
everyone's gonna want thanksgiving to end.
Most people out there are laughing and smiling,
not us,
especially after Uncle Willie gets drunk,
and trys to marry a skunk.
My family may be crazy, lazy, and mean,
but I still love them with every part of me.

Hahahahah! I loved this poem, it was amusing and fun to read! But, the only thing that is missing is the sweet tea ;). Anyways, one little tweak, in writing you never use texting acronyms. So, instead of FYI you could use: "since she thinks it's..." Other than that it's a great poem! Keep on writing!
