Jack Ellison Poet Couplet

Eeew, a Baby Sister

Gobs of happiness, bundles of joy!
My sister turned out to be a boy

Mom said, “Welcome your little brother!”
She'd been promising me the other

You know! EEEW... a baby sister!
Imagine if I had to kiss her!

Thanks to the stork way up high
If Mom had a girl, I'd probably die!

Sisters don't wrestle or play with guns
They play with dollies, have girlie fun

Glad the way things have turned out
Us guys are buds, there's really no doubt!

I know! I realize they're people too
In fact, some are cute, this is true

But if you're gonna give me my druthers
I would much prefer a baby brother!

The moral is, if you eat your veggies
Your Mom will be happy and never edgy

A contented Mom will usually bear fruit
With a baby boy who'll be cuter than cute!

These are the words of a real little boy
Who won't even try to hide his joy!

He comes right out, it's not a quiz
Boys are superior and that's how it is!

Toquyen Harrell January 21, 2013 at 8:07 AM I like boys but if I had a child, I would have preferred a girl. You can dress the girl. Boys are so simple, lol. But I can see your point, you would have wanted a baby brother :). I do think that boys are superior as I prefer them that way. I think God made it so - that the men should be in charge and be heads of the households :). Love ya, Toquyen Jack Ellison January 21, 2013 at 8:13 AM Sorry Toquyen, hit the submit button too soon and Harry's reply ended up here! I am the youngest of 10 siblings and have 9 older sisters!
