So do I. My brother and I have a great relationship, the kind very few siblings have. It's priceless to have a family member for a closest friend.... Wait, she is your sister, right?

Hey Koffee, thanks for showing us your poem - it inspired a great (well, I hope it's great :P) poem of my own for my brother. But Pirocks says this is for fun poetry, so here's a limerick I wrote a year or two ago. It's cleverly titled "Limerick" in my MSWord files. :)

 

Long ago a fat prince ate his fork

And was hailed as the national dork

He liked it so much

That he swallowed a crutch

So the king stopped his mouth with a cork.

 

And another poem, titled

"How to be a Hamster."

Wake up at night

Slip outside. Dig a little, 

Chew the walls.

Climb into your house

And scramble out again.

Potter around the carpet.

Open the fridge, fill your cheeks

With food enough to last you years.

Dump it on the floor, hope

It'll keep. Lick both hands and 

Rub behind your ears. Use one leg

To dry it off. Find a giant wheel and 

Run inside until you're dizzy.

Sleep at dawn. Repeat. 

 

If you don't get some of it, go to a pet store around 8 in the evening and watch the hamsters in the rodent section. And just one more, a stupid opposites poem.

 

What's the opposite of short?

The word sphygmamenopentort

Or an epic song from Tumbuktu

About a furry cockatoo.

 

Yes, that's dumb. Yes, I like it anyway. No, sphygmamenopentort is not a word. Well, not officially a word. :D
