Short Bratty Poems

A bratty six-year-old down in Carlsbad
makes his poor, haggard mother so mad!
He'll be good for a buck
but his mom shouts: Good luck!
Just be good for nothing like your dad!

Catty

    Bratty

           Fatty

               Chatty

                       The wit of a catty bratty gal

                       undid my poor fatty chatty pal.

Little Eleanor chews gum loudly
and enjoys to snaps it proudly.
It’s one of those things she does best
besides being a bratty pest.

Snapping gum is an annoying habit,
grown ups deem quite rude.
Big-hearted, she makes up for it
by offering you hers prechewed.

Suddenly Swans

ZITS….that plague
eradicated
soft stubbly itch
faint beard
announcing itself.

They were…..once
my sister’s
pig-tailed, bratty friends
now gliding past
in nuanced elegance
			…..suddenly swans

I hate going to school 
BUt, I love going to the pool 
I hate when I get worried 
I always start to scurry 
I hate school lunch 
But, I don't mind the brunch 
When I eat the chicken patty 
I act a little bratty.

She thought she would be the bratty brat But someone beat her to it 
So she would be the good girl, but there was one of those two.
What could her function be?
How could she be seen for thee?

She finally got her chance to be the bratty brat in late November 
For the Bratty Brat’s parents moved away the last day of September.
It took her a month to figure out how to become a crazy bratty brat
Even though she is sixty-eight now, she has never lived down that....
