And Then It Wasn'T
And thus it was
And then it wasn’t
He was my brother
Now he’s my cousin
Uncle Tom’s in bed with mom
They took my binky
But left my thumb
I’ve a cat that barks
a dog that purrs
a towel rack
With HERS and HERS
Mealtime is a freakin’ panic
One is Vegan but not organic
I’m growin’ teeth
And gettin’ tall
I’ve planned my escape
For early fall
I hope they know it’s for the best
I passed my pre-school entry test
