In Common Poem by Michael Ernst

She and I have alot in common
We were born in the same town
Came into the world at the same hospital, its true
Did'nt know it at the time
But we went to the same grade school for a year or two

We love movies, puppies, music, ice cream
And wobbly babies walking across the floor
Rain, rollercoasters, childrens laughter, pizza
And lighthouses with soft waves breaking on the shore

Yeah, we share alot together
Children, same color eyes, and last name
And at least one thing more
She and I will always hate me
For making her walk out the door
