POEM OF THE WEEK

FAMILY MATTERS

My kid brother broke my tea set.
My kid brother tore my book.
My kid brother smashed my model oven
Now it doesn't cook.

My kid brother ripped my doll clothes.
My kid brother ruined my bike.
My kid brother got me yelled at
When he started up a fight.

My kid brother lost my kickball.
My kid brother slammed my door.
So I sold him at the Swap Meet
Now he bothers me no more.
