Curtis Moorman Poet Rhyme

If I Were Your Brother

IF I WERE YOUR BROTHER

If I were your brother
And you ate my candy
I may tell Mom, don't have another
'Cause little brothers ain't so dandy

But having you around ain't so bad
And I guess it could be said
That I would be really sad
I may have a sister instead

If I had to choose which one
I know which one it would be
I'd choose you, 'cause we have fun
Since girls ain't any fun, you see

Don't eat my candy, it ain't real funny 
I just might break your favorite toy
It cost me my allowance money
So watch yourself, little boy

And if you want some candy, ask me
And I'll be more than glad to share
But don't just take what you see
And leave my candy bag bare

Charles Messina November 1, 2019 at 6:16 AM Curtis, why is it that when we wanted to get even as children the thing to do was "break a favorite toy" (lol) Love this! Great write! Congratulations on your win. Hope you are doing well my friend. ~Charlie Curtis Moorman November 1, 2019 at 7:11 AM Vengeance, Charlie, vengeance!! lol I hadn't been too aware of what that statement may mean but I see now that is exactly the way I felt back then. Yes, I am doing well, and pray that you are too.
