If I Were Your Brother

IF I WERE YOUR BROTHER If I were your brother And you ate my candy I may tell Mom, don't have another 'Cause little brothers ain't so dandy But having you around ain't so bad And I guess it could be said That I would be really sad I may have a sister instead If I had to choose which one I know which one it would be I'd choose you, 'cause we have fun Since girls ain't any fun, you see Don't eat my candy, it ain't real funny I just might break your favorite toy It cost me my allowance money So watch yourself, little boy And if you want some candy, ask me And I'll be more than glad to share But don't just take what you see And leave my candy bag bare 25 October 2019 For the contest sponsored by Bobby May

Curtis, why is it that when we wanted to get even as children the thing to do was "break a favorite toy" (lol) Love this! Great write! Congratulations on your win. Hope you are doing well my friend. ~Charlie

Vengeance, Charlie, vengeance!! lol I hadn't been too aware of what that statement may mean but I see now that is exactly the way I felt back then. Yes, I am doing well, and pray that you are too.
