My brother wasn't quite two
when he burned down the house.
My mother should have listened,
I told her I wanted a sister.

Yo dear Ida,

Well good for your brother.  Was that a Halloween prank?

This is a cute little poem.

Love Bobby

Oh, It's true alright. In 1949 we had just moved into a house that had one of those old open-flame heaters. My brother stuck a paper bag into the flame, fire went up the curtains, caught the wallpaper and  shot across the ceiling in seconds. My mother was slightly burned trying to get him out because it scared him and he ran from her. The house pretty much buned to the ground.
