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?

DeleteThis poem i wrote is similer to John Prelutsky but with different words :
ReplyDeleteMy 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 ?
