My Sister is a Sissy

My Sister is a Sissy by John Prelutsky

My sister is a sissy
She's afraid of dogs and cats.
A toad can give her tantrums,
And she's terrified of rats.
She screams at things with stingers,
Things that buzz,
And things that crawl.
Just the shadow of a spider
Sends my sister up the wall.
A lizard makes her shiver,
A turtle makes her squirm,
She positively cringes at the prospect of a worm.
She's afraid of things with feathers.
She's afraid of things with fur.
She's afraid of almost everything...
How come I'm scared of her?

  1. This poem i wrote is similer to John Prelutsky but with different words :
    My teacher is a sissy My teacher is a sissy shes afraid of bats & rats. an ipod can give her tantrums, and shes terrified of cats. Shes afraid of people who sneeze, people who yawn, and people who are tall. Just a poster of one direction sends my teacher up the wall. a turtle makes her shiver, and she freaks on fire. She postively faints at the prospect of a vampire. Shes afraid of things with leather shes afraid of things with fur. Shes scared of almost everything ...... why should i be scared of her ?

  7. there once was a pot of gold
    who didn't want to get mold
    so then the pot hid
    and she took a lid
    but then she was found and got sold

  8. There was a bird called Andy, it lived in a tree that looked like a candy. It liked to wear cotton and it's eyes were like buttons and it felt very sandy.
