One Hundred and Ten

Bobby, how could you, why would you eat mine? Little brother, don't you know...that stealing is a crime? I know that my candy...looked quite appealing But, what would mom and dad do...if they knew you've been stealing I found ten empty wrappers, so you've eaten ten of my pieces Some Snickers, some Hershey's and a couple of Reese's Now, go stand in the corner and count to one hundred...and ten Then promise me you won't never, ever, steal from anyone...again If I Were Your Brother Poetry Contest Sponsor Bobby May 10/21/2019

I'd be worried, Charlie. Bobbie only managed to count to 107, when he finally ran out of fingers, toes, fingernails, cuts, scratches, bruises, etc... LOL! Congrats on your win in the contest! Smiles, Gershon

Charles, you sly rascal! You know how to get results from little brothers, and get what should be a first place win in the contest. Great write, my friend!
