Katie has blond hair.
Very different from mine.
One difference of many.

Oh! that balloon. Pop!
The babysitter is here.
Now you can't show Mom.
*
Do not eat that cake!
Mom made a sitting Care Bear!
Ruined! By Katie.
*
You eat that orange.
Even if you don't like it.
Else Mom will chase you.
*
Justin Timberlake.
Knitting. Cookies. Color Red.
Things you like a lot.
*
Coconut. Textures.
Folk Music. Pepperoni
Things you hate a lot.
*
You bought a prom dress
On Capri. Sparkly and black.
It was the best dress.
*
I wish you liked sports.
Could play fantasy football.
Oh well. Won't happen.
*
Sorry to say it
But your torso is crazy.
You know already.
*
We laugh all the time.
Add Mom, and we can't control
the insanity.
*
I admire your
loyalty, intelligence,
fierceness, bravery.
*
Wish only good things
for you. Happiness and joy,
some big dogs to love.
*
Lucky you're my sis,
Lucky we can be friends too.
Too sappy? Sorry.

Was going to write
Twenty-eight. But damn, I'm done.
Happy Birthday, Kate.
