Pop! Goes the weasel
Shakes, rattle, now roll the dice
Screams, loud yelps and sometimes teasing
All a part of our saturday night

"I win", hands clapping like thunderbolts, no lightning
Trying to persuade in a game of charades
Intense, play your cards, hold mouth tightly, say it ain't so
My sister just screamed "Bingo!

Laughs, and chuckles, high-fives in the air,
Teams of 2 or 4, one, two, guess my clue
Smirks, sly grins, trying to hide a bone,
No one bothers to check their phones

Spilled popcorn, empty sodas cans and bags of chips, fruits slices galore on mom's favoriteΒ  food tray with veggie dips, hard candy,
Mints and finger-sandwiches, lets hope we recoup with no damages

Winding down, it's getting late, 2 sleepy kids and a lazy retriever,lying on the fluffy rug, near the recliner, trying to catch a breather
Ongoing yawns, arms stretching, it's time for bed
Movie night tomorrow's special: Night of the Living Dead

Enjoying our time, bonds that will last forever, this is mi familia game night
We're in thisΒ  together!
