How to describe someone who is in every way intolerable
Could one deem it inconceivable?
With manners as brash as a new fallen snow
Attempting to cover me head to toe
Smothering, suffocating loathsome wretch
For the air he has robbed me of has left me bereft
But he would do well to save his breath
For the time will come when I can take no more
And at last I will settle the score
That little fiend
In the end, my brother will be the one who is dumbstruck
And I the one laughing not he.

For my brother
whom i love with all my heart
