Caren Krutsinger Poet Couplet

Brother For Sale

Brother for sale.
I'll deliver him too.
I can send in the mail,
Wrapped in yellow or blue.

He's water potty-trained now,
But that can change in a day.
He'll be bundled with Oreos,
So he can eat on the way.

I can mail him by truck, car, or plane.
He's coming with stuff, his favorite toy train.
He's coming character-recommended, highly by me.
He's a pretty good brother, who is almost three.

We need him back when you get him trained.
We simply cannot seem to get through to his little brain.
That when he has to poop, hiding is no good.
Please train him to use the potty with solids, if you could.

Then send him back, to his crazy, loving home.
And this shall be the end of this tiny poem.

Quoth Theraven August 3, 2019 at 10:34 AM Caren, I like this poem. I wonder what the postage to mail a brother would be(?) I hope your day is a good one. -Richard Quoth Theraven March 5, 2020 at 9:55 PM Caren, I wonder how much postage cost from heaven. "/ -R Caren Krutsinger August 4, 2019 at 8:05 AM I imagine back in 1962, it would have been considerably cheaper.

Kevin Shaw March 30, 2018 at 3:52 AM Hi Caren, a fun poem, enjoyed the read. Don't sell him though, give him away, regards Kevin xx Caren Krutsinger March 30, 2018 at 4:22 AM Give him away! I love this idea even better, but wait, there's a bit of love involved, so....

Tom Cunningham March 30, 2018 at 2:12 AM Haha, have wanted to sell many family members over the years. Lovely funny verse Caren. Tom Caren Krutsinger March 30, 2018 at 4:23 AM Could we just have a little "swap" Tom? I have two that can be ready to go before Easter.
