Brother For Sale

Brother for sale twenty five cents.
Sister is in the free box. Come get her.
She comes with toys and a red balloon.

Sadie has been singing this song for fifty years.
No takers yet.
But she is buying bigger boxes.

LOL. I don't think I ever thought of selling my little brother (five years younger), but I wanted to kill him a few times. Now, he's 74 and he comes in handy!!! LOL

This gave me a chuckle! I can remember wanting to do the same thing with my brother and sister when I was a child. Blessings, Kim M
