Edward Ibeh Poet Verse

Sibling Rivalry

another day 
                         another squabble
                      between kids siblings
                        trying to be a first 
                           for everything. 
            who gets to hug mommy goodbye. 
               who gets to sit on daddy's lap. 
who gets to brush their pearly whites early morn' 
         who gets to play with the teddy bear.
   who should get a bigger slice of whatever pie.
               who gets what gift from Santa,
                                etc., etc.
                mom and dad simultaneously
                referee and pull their hairs out
                            in frustration.
