Favourite (Hutchinson) Poem of the Day

Brother
by Mary Ann Hoberman

I had a little brother
And I brought him to my mother
And I said I want another
Little brother for a change.
But she said don't be a bother
So I took him to my father
And I said this little bother
Of a brother's very strange.

But he said one little brother
Is exactly like another
And every little brother
Misbehaves a bit he said.
So I took the little bother
From my mother and my father
And I put the little bother
Of a brother back to bed.


Hahaha! Ben and I loved this poem - especially as Ben's on the last chapter of "Master Cornhill" and Andrew's been disturbing him by his yelling and screaming because he didn't want to go down for a nap. =D
