The Ugly Brother Comments

Very, very funny! Good one!

Thanks to all who have commented. Sorry I can't reply to each one. My time is limited now and i seldom even log in anymore.

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.

Ha ha ha its great to have that rapore within the family, I'm the youngest of 7 so I know what you mean ha ha...loving the photo Annette

A creative composition filled with sibling fun!

Verily, a fine narration of the dialogue and a fine expression of brothers' childhood that makes us to recall our childhood.

I remember me and my older brother giving each other a bad time too. And fighting when we played games was part of the game. Unfortunately my mother didn't enjoy it like we did. Awwww, those memories, huh? Great, Kim, really fun reading!

I envy you the free-going conversation with your brother. My brothers were spaced at six year intervals and the communication just wasn't there. The exception was my older brother who had the communication skills of a goat. The exception being only a two year difference. He failed at school and we wound up in the same class. is ego was satisfied with beatings. I did learn to be fleet of foot. Thank you, as they say, for sharing. 10 lus in warmth alone.

Hilarious! ! ! I have three sons and I could imagine that kind of banter in the future... And you still like each other... So that's great! ! !

now this shall be # 21 in my/our list of PH poems in my/our September 'showcase for PH poets' on my PH site. thanks. i don't remember this photo; did you change the photo as well as the title? bri :) more info: breech birth noun noun: breech birth; plural noun: breech births; noun: breech delivery; plural noun: breech deliveries a delivery of a baby so positioned in the uterus that the buttocks or feet are delivered first. :)

Laughing out loud! Great! I wish I had a brother who would fence: with me... Keep it coming :)

I think the brother in the photo is very cute, that rugged look. Thanks for the smiles

hee hee hee! So sweet Kim! I grew up with 5 sisters and I know the story well! I'm sure that your brother got a kick out of that photo........

you got comments from some of my favorite PH friends/poets. (Darlene, Valsa, Mandolyn) (all women of course) and well, after you come out they still couldn't tell! ............ this line made me laugh...outloud! i couldn't help myself. i've heard of an ugly stick but i don't think i've heard the breech line before now. in investigating the spelling of breech (just checking, sir) , i ran across some definitions i did not know or know well. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - breech brēCH/ noun noun: breech; plural noun: breeches 1. the part of a cannon behind the bore. the back part of a rifle or gun barrel. 2. archaic a person's buttocks. verb archaic verb: breech; 3rd person present: breeches; past tense: breeched; past participle: breeched; gerund or present participle: breeching 1. put (a boy) into breeches after being in petticoats since birth. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - BUT the definitions must not be complete, as i doubt a boy was put into either 1-part of a cannon or other gun OR 2- someone's buttocks............though i would be interested in seeing such an event in either case, as long as i wasn't the boy. ya know, that primate do look a bit like my younger bro! UNFORTUNATELY, some people do {in the opinion of some others] look like they've been beaten with the stick (or at least not gotten their fair share of what is considered good looks) . it is too bad that that can make such a difference to some people, especially when outward physical appearance gets in the way of people learning how nice (or not nice) those people are inside! i dislike when i hear a person say to a 'new mom'....'oh, what a beautiful baby/child you have! ' how could that make another 'less attractive' kid feel, etc? ? bri :)

This is just amazing...and as someone has already observed...A gem.

a witty lyric, Kim, you made me laugh, thank you

I laughed wildly as I read it. This is a piece that cracks your ribs. Thanks for the good humours.

lol, very entertaining and fun to read.

Such teasing and taunting are so natural among siblings! They are so close to one's heart that we can pull their legs without the fear of being offended! The picture adds to the hilariousness of the poem!
