Poem
After my cousin has visited for a day My mum’s desperate for a holiday! Mum pretends she’s gone out and tries to hide But my auntie knows mum is lurking inside The minute mum go to open the front door My cousin charges in like he’s going to war Mum’s face is ashen she can sense the doom As this tiny tornado enters the living room He shouts out words I could never repeat If I did it would be very indiscreet I try to be kind to him and ask him to play But Peter always wants things done HIS way If he loses a game he screams ‘its not fair’ My auntie consoles him she says ‘there, there’ She really thinks he’s perfect; he’s her pride and joy Unfortunately she cannot see he is a spoiled little boy He bites and kicks and punches me whenever he can He’s my chaotic cousin and of him I’m not a fan When its time for food he eats just like a greedy pig Grabbing all the goodies, its no wonder he’s so big He climbs on all the furniture and colours on the wall My auntie doesn’t stop him, there’s no discipline at all Peter’s just a spoiled brat and doesn’t have a friend It’s a shame we’re cousins or this relationship would end Next time he comes to visit I’ve told mum I’m moving house I told her that I can no longer tolerate this nasty little louse My mum tells me to be patient and I’m not to hit the blues …. It’s a difficult time for many when kids hit the terrible twos! Contest My Cousin Chaos sponsored by Brian Davey 05~27~16
