Don'T Push Me

from toys to boys
came such a life of joy

playing cowboys and indians
and robbing those trains

nearly drove our mother insane

from jumping mound hills
to wiping out and taking spills

that ice pack sure had some nice chills

from pulling hair
to tugging on each other's underwear

just me and my little brother in a world of dare

so when it comes to that old saying
of two peas in a pod

I tend to thank my god above
for my little brother who I used to love 

playing our games like push and shove


Tribute To
My Little Brother 
Mike

Being a tomboy myself, I think I would have enjoyed playing with Mike. He sounds like he was quite a handful for your dear mother, Katherine. What a great childhood you must have shared together! Love, Carolyn
