A Brother's Apology

(Co-written by my son for a school assignment)

I punched my sister
in the stomach
to try to retrieve
my goldfish crackers

She cried like fish droppings
because her stomach hurt
then the smell of vomit
heaved upon my chest

My apologies spilled
like her putrid crackers
I'm sorry
I didn't punch her in the face instead
