My Cousin Jer has a Story to Share

My cousin Jer had a story to share
Said first, let me sit in my favorite chair
He combed his almost non-existent hair
On his bald head I saw a shiny glare

I sat down with my chocolate éclair
And handed Jer a pastry – claw of bear
This is the best I ever had, I swear
I love you cousin, you show you care!

Babysit Saturday and we’ll be square
We heard giggling upon the stair
It was my twins, a rambunctious pair
I’ll babysit, he said with male cousin flair

Happy glee promenaded into the air
What shall I wear? What shall I wear?
Are you sure you can? Are you sure you dare?
How hard can two five-year-olds be? Asked cousin Jer.
