Ma always liked you better
'Tho I done nothing wrong,
She blamed me for everything--
As you went skipping on!

          Dad always liked you better
          Though I think it not my fault,
          I tried to make him proud of me
          You were his favorite, no doubt!

She always liked you better
In her eyes, you always soared,
You were the "Apple of her Eye"--
Me? Just the one that she ignored!

          Dad always beamed with you around
          No question, you were Number One,
          I was around but oft' ignored
          He paid attention to his First-born son!

Well, You always were Mom's favorite
No matter how hard I would try,
And when some desert she'd cut
Good-bye big piece o'the pie!

          When it was time to get us pets
          He gave you your first wish,
          You got a lovable puppy dog--
          What I got was a dumb gold fish!

There was no sense of justice
Yes, this I had soon found,
E'en though I was the older one
I got all your hand-me-downs!

          I always was in your shadow
          Your grades were always best,
          You always came out on the top
          When we were put to the test!

   Yes, They really messed up,
   Not a thing did They do Right,
   'Cept giving us each a Brother
   Such a Sibling Delight!

   It doesn't matter any more
     The past is o'er and gone,
       Despite all of their Poor Parenting
         True Brothers we have become!!!

Wow, I love this, it's so down to earth, and cute.

When it was time to get us pets
He gave you your first wish,
You got a lovable puppy dog--
What I got was a dumb gold fish!

Loved this stanza!

a wonderful poem, can certainly relate to this. I used to annoy the hell of my brother when I was little, not very smart as he is 8 yrs older than me, but as I grew up I began to depend on him for a lot of things. Igot that "you could take a leaf out of yours brother's book" when it came to studying.
I will stop ranting great poem.
