The Booting Brother
A Poetic Remembrance of Sibling Regurgitation
My baby brother's sense of smell
Is more than anyone can tell.
He takes a whiff and groans, "Oh, swell!"
And bids his latest meal "Farewell."
The scent of bacon, frying fast
Can be enough to flabbergast
And set him booting at full blast,
While all of us stand by, aghast.
Our grandma's brownies make him retch;
They make his diaphragm reflex.
I gag and run for the homestretch,
As Mom jumps up, a pail to fetch.
We load the car for weekend fun
And head for regions in the sun,
Until my brother comes undone
And tosses cookies, hit-and-run.
"The dog's bad breath just made me sick!"
Sure, blame the pet for your gut-kick.
Of course, we don't mean to nitpick,
But isn't that a dirty trick?
We hope he'll leave this all behind,
But if he doesn't, never mind.
I'd never mean to be unkind:
My brother's guts might just unwind!

Post a CommentSome page view love from Page View Poison. bwahahaha - too funny
I love this one! So funny and very well done. Tweeted. :)
This is really funny!
I delivered furniture with a guy like this; he'd literally puke on the spot if someone cut the cheese. Man, that sounds like a living hell, if you ask me! Killer poem, though; very creative and funny!
Hilarious. I bet he got carsick too and did projectile vomiting from the back seat onto the back of the driver's head. (That was my trick.) Here from Maria's PVP. Good one!
I love this! How could you NOT have more PVs on this clever ditty?
Here from Maria Roth's Page View Poison. Hmm . . . can he eat anything?
I like it! :)
