A Purple Garlic Kiss

My name is Ethel Mary 
And I have to tell you this
I hate it when Aunt Geri
gives a purple garlic kiss!
I hate it when my bubblegum
EXPLODES all over my face!
I hate it when I’m last
in the stupid relay race!
I hate it when I laugh
and milk goes out my nose!
I hate it when my new shoes 
put a blister on my toes!
I hate it when my Dad
has to work on Saturday!
I hate it when it rains
and I can’t go out and play! 
But I think what I hate most,
and I know I told you this,
but I hate it when Aunt Geri
gives that purple garlic kiss!

Thank you Charlie! I would be honored to be like Shel Silverstein. One of my favorites and my children's when they were little.

Thank you Valerie. I don't like garlic that much. But I'll eat it. Can you just imagine what Aunt Geri looked and smelled like? Ha!
