Sister For Sale by Todd-Michael St. Pierre
May I sell my sister in the yard sale?
'Cause she cries most of the time.
This is my chance to be an only child.
Do you think that's such a crime?
Can I sell my sister in the yard sale?
If I can't she's yours for free.
Just take her while she's a terrible two
And bring her back when she's three!
'Cause she cries most of the time.
This is my chance to be an only child.
Do you think that's such a crime?
Can I sell my sister in the yard sale?
If I can't she's yours for free.
Just take her while she's a terrible two
And bring her back when she's three!
As a Children's Author I related to my own childhood when writing this poem. It is basically a kid who is fantasizing about being an only child. The humor comes from my own experiences at the age of seven.
