She Had a Crush On My Brother

I had a girlfriend named Shirley
Who was funny in every way
Her sense of humor delightful
Each and every otherwise solemn day

We gravitated toward each other
In a marching band did play
She had a crush on my brother
So I had to kindly say

He’s a weirdo, truly creepy.
You can do better, he’s not the best.
To which Shirley said with feeling
I think surely you must jest.

They ended up together 
Shirley and the brother of mine
They had six little munchkins
Who make me laugh all the time.

Caren, The best crushes ignite a bond. The delight those comically weird munchkins must be. -Richard
