POEMS FOR KIDS
TERRIBLE TWIN
I've got a twin sister, her name is Maria,
But nobody else in the world seems to see her.
They tell me there's nobody here of that name,
So when she does bad stuff, it's me gets the blame.
My terrible twin she does terrible things
like tying the dog up with ribbons and strings
And gluing my underwear to the TV
And everyone says that it must have been me.
The other day round at my Aunty Jill's flat,
She tried for a laugh to shave Aunty Jill's cat
And even the cat must have thought it was me
And that's why she gave me this scratch on my knee
I wish I was her and I never got seen
And nobody knew what I did, where I'd been.
I'd paint my dad purple, put ice in his bed,
And he would just blame my twin sister instead
But being invisible can't be all fun,
When I get a present Maria gets none.
When I have my dinner she doesn't get fed
She sleeps on the floor while I sleep in a bed
Perhaps if I treated her better instead
She wouldn't get such bad ideas in her head
Then rather than driving me right round the bend
Maria could be my invisible friend
But nobody else in the world seems to see her.
They tell me there's nobody here of that name,
So when she does bad stuff, it's me gets the blame.
My terrible twin she does terrible things
like tying the dog up with ribbons and strings
And gluing my underwear to the TV
And everyone says that it must have been me.
The other day round at my Aunty Jill's flat,
She tried for a laugh to shave Aunty Jill's cat
And even the cat must have thought it was me
And that's why she gave me this scratch on my knee
I wish I was her and I never got seen
And nobody knew what I did, where I'd been.
I'd paint my dad purple, put ice in his bed,
And he would just blame my twin sister instead
But being invisible can't be all fun,
When I get a present Maria gets none.
When I have my dinner she doesn't get fed
She sleeps on the floor while I sleep in a bed
Perhaps if I treated her better instead
She wouldn't get such bad ideas in her head
Then rather than driving me right round the bend
Maria could be my invisible friend
