My mama and me
Are different heights.
We don't see eye to eye
On many different things.
I'm the teenager,
The youngest, too.
She's Mama, so
We're different.
I love chocolate.
She likes peanut butter
On ice cream.
Mama loves Reese's.
Me – Kit-Kat bars.
We're different,
But we're alike, as well.
We love to read –
Fiction and fantasy are great!
We like Oreos,
And hot chocolate
With whipped cream.
Baking's fun
But I have issues
With cookies.
Different, yes
But at the end of the day
It's “we.”
