Sibling rivalry

At the top of the stairs 

And down the hall 

We fight and fight 

We even name call. 

And that’s just one 

I hate to say 

There are a few  

To get in my way. 

The boy is the worst  

As he likes to bite 

The girl just cries 

Because she hates to fight. 

The other boy can 

And will hunt me down 

We grapple and scream 

He acts like a clown. 

Then there’s the one 

Who nobody tries 

To bother at all 

So that nobody dies.
