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
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.
