Sis' leading the horse

Sister whining,
what am I to do?
Maybe I’ll just kick her over.
That’ll fix ‘er.

Hey! She’s back at it again,
This time,
tugging on my ear,
with her words, nagging me,
pulling my bit,
leading me to the trough.
I try to buck ‘er,
but to no avail.

She pulls back hard
on the reins,
pulling up at the kitchen,
smartin’ off like a chipmunk,
punchin’ my nose
to her whim.

Whoever said you can lead
a horse to water,
but can’t make ‘im drink it,
has never met my little sis’
‘cuz she can make
a horse of a brother,
fix her up some
bacon and eggs,
And force ’im into
a canter to the phone
with a flick
o’ her fingers.

-----------

Not too clear about this poem. I think it is about the bother of a little sister. It did give me a smile. Thank you. **hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

What a fine use of a metaphor...you aren't just horsing around!
