A hundred bucks, it sealed the deal,
Just one night, it’s not a big ordeal.
She left the triplets in my care,
Three little storms, too wild to bear.
They screamed and laughed, the house a mess,
A whirlwind of chaos, pure distress.
I chased them ‘round, my strength ran dry,
By midnight, I just wanted to cry.
Fights broke out, then tears would fall,
Made peace again, I’d seen it all.
They crashed in my arms, snug and tight,
A memory stirred from years in the night.
Moments of calm, so rare, so sweet,
In the madness, a tender beat.
I saw my sister’s younger face,
Her warmth, her love, her endless grace.
Never again, I swear, I’m done,
This battlefield is far from fun.
But deep inside, I start to see,
A spark of love igniting in me.
Morning broke, the storm was still,
Their laughter quiet, their voices shrill.
I handed back her three small kings,
Relief and dread in equal rings.
“Next time, perhaps?” she dared to say,
I laughed and waved her fears away.
“No way,” I said, “I’m always booked,”
This uncle life is overcooked.
Never again, I swear, I’m done,
This battlefield is far from fun.
But deep inside, I start to see,
A spark of love igniting in me.
They’re wild, they’re loud, they’re quite a scene,
The craziest kids I’ve ever seen.
But something changed, a bond was made,
Within their chaos, love has stayed.
Never again, I swear, I’m done,
This battlefield is far from fun.
But deep inside, I start to see,
A spark of love igniting in me.
Never again, I’ll make it clear,
But somehow now, I hold them dear.
This life is wild, not what I’d planned,
But maybe I’ll try to understand.
