Knock Knock Knock

Knock, knock, knock
seething at her core,
it's your older sister
emoting once more..
Knock, knock, knock, 
bar that door.
She's launching missiles
in hopes of a sibling war..
Knock, knock, knock.
You've been there before.
If you don't want her angst,
then just ignore..

Hi Anne, Thankfully we live a few states away. Sibling dynamics can be tough some days though. Nice to hear from you and hope you are doing well my dear.

Reminds me of a knock, knock joke but I don't think that was your aim. Seems like the sister in hell! Good thing just to ignore.

I got one for you Susan. Knock, knock, whose there? Knock, knock, whose there? Knock,Knock, whose there? (3rd time) It's Nancy do I have any messages? LOL She's not the sister from hell though, just very emotional, not retired yet, very stressed, and likes to take her emotions out on me I guess some times. We love each other of course.

Oh, how I feel this poem. There is 8 of us and we all have our issues, even me. You tickled me. Many blessings

Hi Eve, I almost didn't put this out there but I thought it was a bit amusing and we all need a laugh. Being one of eight must have been quite lively growing up. I'm glad I made you giggle a bit. God bless and great to hear from you Ms. Eve

Hi Mark, Family dynamics are very influenced by birth order and different parenting styles. She's really a good person but just highly emotional at times as she takes on too much. Thanks for your visit and have a restful Sunday.
