Kids One Commandment

She is a beautiful Sunday school teacher,
and for children a mild mannered preacher;
the commandments her special to feature; 
To explain, 
a commandment that honours father; mother,
then asks her class “do you know of another,
on how we should treat our sister and brother?”
A voice let out a shrill, 
“Thou shalt not kill!”

Hah! having three brothers, I felt like that sometimes. Now as we've aged, it's more like 'dribbling rivalry'. Good write, Lindsay. Regards, Viv
