My Cousin Glenn

He is always right; has always been. His ideas are sound, my cousin Glen. He makes no apology for his confident ways. I try not to spend time with him most days. During vacation and good weather. He sticks to me like a duck’s downy feather. He wants to be seen as a friend of Heather. I absolutely do not enjoy this time together. Glenn is bossy and overbearing and angry too. He often leads me into a conversation that makes me blue. I beg my parents to leave me at home with my dog Lou. But they tell me getting along is what relatives must do.

Thank goodness I've never lived close enough to any of my cousins to have any kind of a relationship. Just as well, I gather.
