I have a little bother
He likes to break my stuff
He makes me very cranky
I have to shout, 'Enough!!'

He put my schoolbag in the toilet
and my chess set in the bin
painted splurges on my wall
he really is quite dim.

Sometimes I just wish
that he would disappear
a long long way away
very far from here.

Perhaps when he is older
he won't be such a pest?
but for now he is my bother
will I ever get a rest?
