Three Sides To Every Story

I fought with Jack, He hit me back, We both went home crying, Mom asked me why, I did not lie, Jack started denying; He broke my toy, Total destroy, And my car went flying, He was uncouth, I punched his mouth, It was satisfying; Jack said my punch Was why he lunged, 'twas so horrifying, I cried some more, Mom did ignore, "Let's find out who's lying"; My sis she called, Who saw it all, (That was terrifying) "Jim broke his car, With Jack did spar," On us, she was spying! There was no doubt, I got time out, It was mortifying, Jack was let go, Just so you know, We're still friends undying; Three sides, you see To each story, There's some falsifying, Dig deep to find The truth unfeigned, It's called verifying.

So cleverly done, Joanne. You have taken an incident from children's everyday life and it sounds so natural. All the Best.

Very nicely done. Yes, that's how I did mine, telling a story from three perspectives.

Seems like a minor detective story. Still, I loved the story.
