The Ugly Brother

Rating: 5.0


When I see my brother
we like to call each other
ugly just for fun. Of course,
he's very handsome.
I'm the ugly one.

He sez, you bin taken them ugly pills again
and I say well, I only took two but you musta taken ten!
Then I say you look like you bin whupped wit a ugly stick
and he sez I wuz but it din't take, but wit you it did the trick!
Then he sez when you wuz bein' born they thot you wuz breech,
and well, after you come out they still couldn't tell!
Then I say when you wuz born you wuz so ugly
the doctor done slapped our mama!
Then he sez is that your face
or a map of Yokohama?

Then we both laugh and hug each other
because I really love my brother.

Amazingly humorous write. Only a few minds can create and construct such a unique and witty poem. The bond between brothers is just wonderfully portrayed. The photo that goes with this poem enhances the fun that this write brings.
