Is My Brother For Real

Is my brother for real?
He kicks and he bites.
He wets his bed
And starts terrible fights.

He picks his nose-
Can he be my kin?
Or is my brother...
An alien?

by Cherie Durbin

Written for Debbie Guzzi's "Real, UNreal and SURreal" contest. On the theme 
of "real".

This is adorable! I am the youngest of 9 children. I have six older brothers and always wanted a little brother. After reading this, I guess I should be thankful! lol! ~ Ellen
