About the Poem

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.

Sister For Sale

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!

This is so cute. I used to say I would sell my kids for a quarter and give you twenty-four cents change. I was kidding . of course. on the other hand if they were kidnapped. They would pay me to take them back. hehehe
