That’s my sister
wearing a pink dress
blowing thirteen candles.
And that’s my aunt
blowing candles too
blond and shirt is blue
My sister is aunt’s favorite.
And that’s my brother
smirking at the blow.
And that’s me
weary of the blow.
Here is my sister
blowing my aunt away.
And here is my brother
smirking at the girl’s uproar.
He’ll burst to laughter
and sister will stutter
Aunt will fire facts
and sister will stutter
And I’ll look at the camera
Look at the lens
Please help!
From this fight
Salvage me
