Dear Big Brother,

It is all your fault,

big bad brother.

In painful assault,

you knocked out another.

I will run out of teeth,

anytime now.

The gums underneath

make me cringe with a loud, ow!

You punish him hard, Mom,

ground him for years.

The fault is all Tom’s,

Mom. Take a look at these tears.



Dear Little Brother,

Blame it all on me,

little brother.

You see what I’ll be,

I’ll blame it on another.

Knock out the baby tooth,

that I did not.

Come out with the truth,

you should know when you’ve been caught.

So next time when you come,

blame it on me,

remember we’re from

the very same family.



My Dear Children,

Why do you bother?

I don’t choose sides,

talk to your father.

No more roller coaster rides.

Tom you know better,

Carl, you do to.

Stop writing letters,

I’m talking to both of you.

It’s love you should share,

You could be friends.

My heart you will tear,
If you do not make amends.
