My Sister Josephine


My sister is very beautiful

And I am proud

To say that she is my sister

Many think that she is my wife

Which flatters me

As I do not have all of her gifts

If Josie does have a fault

Then it is her peacock ways

As she likes to be seen

And her beauty admired

By those who appreciate life

We have lived in Florida

For five years in an apartment

Overlooking a beach

Which we frequently use

Today was no exception

As the sun was high

And the sea breezes kind

But Josie seemed withdrawn

As not all the hot hunks on the beach

Were taking notice of her gentle theatre

I instantly knew the reason why

But did not have the heart to tell her
