We need a word people!

I've been typing on the google

to informicate the noggin.

I only stopped to eat, sleep, drink

and let a lonely dog in.

Earlier at the corner shop

I'd heard some women rant

because some bloke had quite upset

his 2 uncles and an aunt.

They blathered on for ages

about him melting a plug socket.

Apparently he'd only gone

and built a flipping rocket!!

The rocket could travel faster

than speed and even light.

Somehow it had powered up

and no one knows its plight.

One uncle had gone and popped out

to go and get his pension.

As his wife dusted the rocket

she met a new dimension.

"2 uncles and an aunt"

That phrase had got me thinking.

There must be a word that makes more sense

where all those words are linking.

Mums and Dads are parents

and their children are called siblings.

All the family have collective names

Nieces and nephews are now called niblings!

But what about the aunts and uncs?

It just seems so absurd

that this very clumsy sentence

can't be shortened with one word.
