What Little Sisters Are For

We are innocent
And stupid
(In the view of our elders)
Extremely naïve

We turn the blame on our siblings
Just for fun
Or to see what trouble you get in

We try to protect 
Older brothers and sisters
-Even though we are no use-

Hate being the youngest
But then realise it would suck being the oldest

We anger you
Aggravate you

We make you scream
And make you shout

Even sometimes make you cry

But at the end of the day you love us
Because without- what kind of a boring life
Would you live in?
