Typewriter Rodeo: Family During The Holidays

Each week, the Standard reaches out to Austin’s Typewriter Rodeo for a custom poem on Texas topics.

It’s the time of the year when families get together across the miles, across the generations, and across the political spectrum. For better or for worse, that was the inspiration for this Typewriter Rodeo poem.

Family During The Holidays

there will be food

there will be gifts

there will be air mattresses

there will be sore lower backs

there will be memories

there will be bad movies

there will be booze

there will be not enough pillows

there will be discussions

there will be DISCUSSIONS

there will be kisses

there will be hugs

and if you’re all on your best behavior,

there will not be blood
