SIBLINGS

​

I've got 99 brothers and sisters

I'm the youngest one by lots

When you've got this many siblings

You just go with what you gots

​

I've been the same size

Since I can't remember when

The rest are all bigger

Than me 'cause I'm only ten

​

There's Jimmy and Kathy

And Bobby and Glen

All the usual names

It didn't take long, but then

​

They ran out of names

No surprise you can guess

When they got to the Z's

And had twins, what a mess

​

It got hard to remember

All the names of the kids

So they thought about numbers

But that's not what they did

​

My parents got sort of silly

They can't really be blamed

It turned into a contest

To come up with a name

​

There was Boxer and Bumper

Then Zipper and Kronk

Sparkles and Sprinkles

And Tinkle and Tonk

​

But now things have changed

Just how happy I'll be

I'm no longer the youngest

And HER name's simply Z

​

Siblings

Sometimes I know what I was thinking and where a poem comes from. But that didn't happen with

​

SIBLINGS.

​

It just sort of... spilled out of my head. And it kept coming and coming.

​

After this I decided to try to write shorter poems. But I still like it and think it is quite Silly, but fun.
