Margarita Lillico Poet Rhyme

Sisterly Love

My sweet baby sister (AKA the traitor)
Has radars for ears and the mind of a spy,
She eavesdrops, twists facts, and then tattletales,
And proudly serves mom an elaborate lie.

I sweet talked, I begged, I bribed then I threatened,
Locked her in the bathroom and turned off the light,
I secretly hoped that she would get better:
It got better indeed, not sis, but her spite!

She listened in to the private confession
About the boy crush that  I shared with a friend,
She posted it promptly on-line, no discretion
No mercy, no sisterhood! Viral it went!

That sure was the last camel back-breaking straw!
Eavesdropped and Exposed!!!- an egregious offence!
Should be charged, prosecuted and punished by law,
With no chance of parole, appeal or defense!

Caren Krutsinger December 14, 2019 at 4:39 AM Posting on social media about your sister should be a crime too; Margarita. I think we have the same sister! You are right. Eavesdropping should be a crime. Unfortunately, we are sometimes excited and our voices raise, and it is partly our own fault we are overheard. This was amazingly delightful and humorous!

I don't have siblings but if I did...:) Happy Holidays! Margarita.
