My Sister's Secret Box

In my older sister’s special lavender box she kept All of her finest treasures secretly hidden away Stashed under the bed where we as children slept. When I unwittingly discovered the box, she wept Because I had found her prized hidden cache In my older sister’s special lavender box she kept Valentines and letters I had literally over-slept In that box tied up with a wide red ribbon so gay Stashed under the bed where we as children slept. At violating my sister’s privacy, I was quite adept, Which, for a little brother, was certainly not okay. In my older sister’s special lavender box she kept For those treasures a brother was never to intercept [She vowed my discovery would make me dearly pay] Stashed under the bed where we as children slept Her anger erupting, I quickly learned a new concept If one snoops around, one better learn how to pray In my older sister’s special lavender box she kept Stashed under the bed where we as children slept.
