Oh, My Sister

Oh I cannot describe my sister
Yes she is so very annoying
One would wish you could pop her like a blister
She is also very truly destroying.

My sister doesn’t qualify as a ‘brainiac’
She can’t figure out 1x5
Toward spelling she is a mainiac
A trophy for listening she would strive.

My sister can’t be selected for sports
She can’t even throw a ball
Make her play on netball courts
She is guaranteed to fall.

For all these years I have never noticed
What ‘great’ things my sister can do
Even with all of this hocus pocus
You can find out how amazing she is too!
