THE CLAYTON SISTER
Unless you come from the land down under
You might not understand the following
There was an ad on TV years ago
That will explain this poem for you I know
It was about an non alcoholic beverage
That tasted exactly like beer
But it wasn't a beer at all
It's authentication didn't come near
The beer was called a Clayton
Which, (for awhile), became our nations catch phrase
Anything that makes a claim but isn't
Sends off warning signals
Letting you know in an instant

THE CLAYTON SISTER
I have to wonder what my parents were thinking
When everybody knew the truth
THE CLAYTON SISTER
I have to wonder what my parents were thinking
When everybody knew the truth
They had two beautiful daughters they loved
Who couldn't stand being under the same roof
Everyone could see
But nobody said a word
Why didn't my parents take note
And put an end to this feud
It is now blatantly clear
What caused this affray to begin
Mums first baby girl died
When the second baby rocked up
She was terrified it would happen again
She lived in fear
Her heart was filled to overflowing
She had so much love to give
But this new baby didn't want it
She didn't need affection to live
That broke my Mums heart
She had a baby she couldn't cuddle
Feed me, change me and put me down
Mum felt like she was living in a bubble
Then 4 years later
Along comes little Miss Needy Me
I wanted cuddles
I wanted affection
I wanted all the love they could give
I gave this family destiny
Mum was so happy
She finally had a baby she was allowed to love
I was smothered with love and affection
This time there was no rejection
I'm assuming all this was noticed
By my older sister
It wouldn't have been pleasant to see
But she brought it on herself
Her actions had caused all the attention I received
This disharmony has carried on for 50+ years
When I think how much time has been wasted
When I could've had a big sister
I'm almost brought to tears
