Dear Cousin

Aw, dear cousin mine
I miss ya
you know I do..

Remember that time?
I stepped through the door
you pulled down my pants 
in front of your whole family
and mine.

Was I old enough to know 
the color red..  
or embarrassment, 
among those glaring looks.

Mom wasn't shocked, 
no, likely relieved,
she packed clean tidy whities
for me. 

 Aw, dear cousin mine
I miss ya
you know I do..

Just please know,  
understand too.., 
if you ever do that again
it'll still be too soon.

LOL. I had a mischievous cousin as well. He led me into SO MUCH trouble (five years older-he shoulda known better)! :)

A fun one Richard. I had a similar experience, but my pants were full down in front of my whole family and I don’t know if I was embarrassed or not I don’t think so. It was too young. Huggs, Pangie xx
