Uncle , our great director, we'd like now to acknowledge
For in a blink of an eye we'll all be in college
As our director you showcase our talent so rare
And open our eyes to your love that is there
To you we're a decicated troupe so fond
Why, we've even followed you to lily pond
Now for each cousin a very special rhyme
Don't worry, I'll be finished with this poem in due time
To M. M.you are the Godfather with the Riolo batutti
Every good Sicilian boy needs a capo de tutti
To G.A. you are the chair
She loves to snuggle up with the cuddle bear
To I. R. you are the great Spam master
Luckly, his metabolism runs a wee bit faster
Uncle, you and I live in history, our heads in a book
If the house was on fire we wouldn't even look
To Meimei you are her Papa and fellow nerd
And she's the fastest swimmer in the world, so you've heard
To A.M. those fried eggs were a chocker
But you both sure enjoy a good game of Poker
To Dabao you have more than a chemical bond
You are his Papa, his pal, his Bond, his James Bond
To you it's not important which country a cousin is from
In your eyes we're all as Italian as they come
Uncle your sound fills the air like a Lake Tahoe bear
The family needs your big voice to always be there
This poem is for you and all that you share
With a big cousin wish that you please take care
孩子写的诗里有很多典故,比如夏天野营时先生带着当时只有四五岁的他们步行几英里去莲花塘Lily Pond,久久不归急得其他家长打救急电话叫森林巡警。。。然后不顾其他人只吃健康食品的要求,做高盐高脂午餐肉Spam,买苏打水给孩子们分。。。孩子诗中有一两处押韵和选词有父母帮了忙,比如Capo de tutti是电影Godfather里听来的,意思是头头。
然后就听三个女孩上场了,先唱一首柔美的It's a small world. 然后摇身一变成了三个Nona,诺娜就是意大利语奶奶或姥姥的意思,孩子们的奶奶从没回过意大利,她自己的姥姥姥爷是一百多年前从西西里移民来的。话说雪儿和表妹们表演的三个Nona惟妙惟肖,回到了意大利,满心欢喜,可还满世界找Nordstrom商店要为孙儿女们买礼品。。。
说到拿爷爷开心,几个孩子们围坐在一起要开画家协会会议,表演爷爷的演员说:“我建议我们下一次外出绘画到Napa酒乡去画winery...I mean nice scenery...( 画酒厂。。。我是想说。。。画美景)然后几个画家就说到下一期会议议题,爷爷说:“Michelangelo and Merlot... meeting adjoured. ” 米开朗基罗和温和红酒?还挺押韵。。。三句话不离酒,这可怎么好?

The First Noel
The First Noel, the Angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
And by the light of that same star
Three Wise men came from country far
To seek for a King was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
This star drew nigh to the northwest
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both Pause and stay
Right o'er the place where Jesus lay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
Then entered in those Wise men three
Full reverently upon their knee
And offered there in His presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made Heaven and earth of nought
And with his blood mankind has bought.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
