Cyber Sister and Brother Collaboration J Allison J Ellison

Started writing poetry then joined Poetry Soup 
When submitting a poem I’m really cock a hoop 
Have a cyber brother I did meet on line 
Think he's quite amazing his poetry's divine 

He said one day we were separated at birth 
His comment amused me and filled me with mirth 
Soon was confirmed we certainly were twins 
Both write silly poetry and both have hairy chins 

Cyber sister Jan started my big old heart a-ticking 
Since entering my life it's sure been a-clicking 
Wake up each morning can't wait for sister Jan 
Even check my inbox before going to the can 

She never disappoints though we're an ocean apart 
Start's my motor racing, got a hold of my heart 
Haven't figured out why I deserve such a friend 
Separated at birth we'll be friends to the end 

Noticed on some comments people call him ‘Kenny’ 
He’d love to sing with Dolly – guess he’s one of many 
Jack and Dolly’s greatest hits I see it in my mind 
But Cathie said no, guess she’s being real kind 

From Jack’s picture, think he’s more like a Santa 
We get on great as bro and sis with much silly banter 
I’m so very fortunate to find my cyber brother 
If I had to choose one couldn’t wish for another 

It's a well known fact, Brits lack a sense of humour 
Sister Jan sure puts a kibosh on that silly rumour 
She makes me cackle and wet my pantaloons 
Sometimes I snort like a silly old buffoon 

At my ripe old age of fifty-eight plus twenty 
Things don't work well, I have heartburn a plenty 
But the heartburn I have is caused by my love 
My dear sister Jan gives my heart a big shove

Dear Jan, I'm am so sorry to hear about your father, so I wanted to read your co-write with Jack and offer some support. The British people I've known have been anything but cold. You and Jack write very well together and I love your poem. If there's anything I can do to give you some peace during this terrible time, just know that I am here for you. God bless you and your family. Love, Carolyn
