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
孩子寫的詩裏有很多典故,比如夏天野營時先生帶著當時隻有四五歲的他們步行幾英裏去蓮花塘Lily Pond,久久不歸急得其他家長打救急電話叫森林巡警。。。然後不顧其他人隻吃健康食品的要求,做高鹽高脂午餐肉Spam,買蘇打水給孩子們分。。。孩子詩中有一兩處押韻和選詞有父母幫了忙,比如Capo de tutti是電影Godfather裏聽來的,意思是頭頭。
然後就聽三個女孩上場了,先唱一首柔美的It's a small world. 然後搖身一變成了三個Nona,諾娜就是意大利語奶奶或姥姥的意思,孩子們的奶奶從沒回過意大利,她自己的姥姥姥爺是一百多年前從西西裏移民來的。話說雪兒和表妹們表演的三個Nona惟妙惟肖,回到了意大利,滿心歡喜,可還滿世界找Nordstrom商店要為孫兒女們買禮品。。。
說到拿爺爺開心,幾個孩子們圍坐在一起要開畫家協會會議,表演爺爺的演員說:“我建議我們下一次外出繪畫到Napa酒鄉去畫winery...I mean nice scenery...( 畫酒廠。。。我是想說。。。畫美景)然後幾個畫家就說到下一期會議議題,爺爺說:“Michelangelo and Merlot... meeting adjoured. ” 米開朗基羅和溫和紅酒?還挺押韻。。。三句話不離酒,這可怎麽好?
表姐妹的和聲很柔美 It's a small world

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!
