Ode To Brother Glenn

You were the one to taunt and tease

And "bug" as brothers do

But I was always glad I had

A brother just like you.

I thought it was the greatest

To have a male protector

Bet you loved me on your bike

A constant wee reflector.

You suffered through some tantrums

And learned to tolerate

Did you deserve a sis like me?

I guess it just was fate.

My girlfriends always thought I had

A brother so good-looking

They were all so jealous when

You were "Sandra Cooking" !

Later on you married wise

I gained a lovely sister

You ran the high school by yourself

And people called you Mister.

You thought that I was cute enough

A pretty neat wee gal

What a disappointment when

I settled down with Al.

Now that we grow middle-aged

And a little wiser too

It's fun to think back on the times

I had to share with you.

Years add appreciation and

I know my whole life through

That always I'll be glad I have

A brother just like you.

with love, little sister
