Right, there’s me, Georgia
I’m nearly fourteen
Counting down the days
And my dad
Who works all day
Dealing with customers
Then all night
Dealing with us
Then there’s Josh, my brother
Who would love to be the oldest,
but will always be the youngest
He likes organisation and being noisy
His job will surely have something to do with these
And my mum
Who knows us back to front,
and inside out
She makes us dinner,
Helps with homework,
And cares for us
Just like any parent should
