Ma Soeur Cadet
Guess what, kids! Today is Openly Mock Wenchie Day! Yay!
This is a poem I wrote about Billi in 1983, when I was thirteen. Mom found it when she was cleaning out their attic, in preparation for the move. She gave it to Billi, who promptly emailed it to me, with the appropriate amount of ridicule.
* * *
Billi is my little sister,
and although she's really a brat,
She's sort of pretty, with eyes of blue,
and a body that's anything but fat.
Billi est ma soeur cadet,
and although she's sorta pretty,
She's a selfish little buger-snot,
So it's really a great pity.
She's never had the sheer pleasure
of sharing things with me,
But I like her anyway,
as you can plainly see.
She's alot of fun to play with,
and she throws pillows on me,
And she jumps on me and tickles me,
Then I laugh so hard I could pee!
All and all she's really great,
If she left, I'd really miss her,
I've very glad that she is my
One and only little sister!
* * *
Oh, the shame! The shame!
Actually, I kinda like how I'm all passive-aggressive like "She's a selfish brat, but I really like playing with her. Even though she doesn't share."
And "est ma soeur cadet." **SNORT!** Boy, I just thought I was the shit! Yes, I was taking French in junior high. Intollerably pretentious even then. Barf.

OMG my big sister used to write poems for me too! They were very similar to this one! I am very excited about this for some reason!

Well, Marty, any other day, I would kill you.

I LOVE anyone who would use the words "selfish little buger-snot" in any way. Using them in a poem just makes it that much better!

Would have been even cooler, had I spelled booger correctly. Truly, I am ground-breaking in my art.
