Humorous Poem

One time, my little brother and I locked one of my older brothers in the closet for whatever reason (you know how older brothers sometimes are). I put my little brother (very young) on sentry duty while I went out to do something, and when I got back, the closet was empty. Now this story has sort of become a running gag in my family, to my little bro's dismay. This poem is speculative, at best, though based partly on what my big bro told me.

Smarter Than Him

© Nick Philips
I locked my brother in a closet
T’see what he would do.
And jus' before I think he lost it,
He thoughta something new:

“Ha-ha!” he said—I thought, “Oh, dear”—
“You know, I think I got it!
I’m not locked insida here,
I locked you outta the closet!"

“Nuh-uh!” I said; he disagreed,
So I opened the door on a whim
To prove, before he made me bleed,
That I was smarta than him.
