Double Trouble

 

Dedicated to the little partners-in-crime, my sister Ella and her buddy Shakira...

 

I watch those two

From time to time,

A pair of friends

Just past age nine.

 

They whisper some,

And giggle more;

I have a hunch

They're never bored.

 

Somedays make-up,

And sometimes nails,

Most days it's both,

Which rarely fails.

 

They tell tall tales,

They sing odd songs,

Dream big and bright,

Their friendship strong.

 

Where you find one,

You'll find two, sure.

Grinning young chief,

And doting Igor.
