Just Desserts

I call my brother “shortcake,”

’Cause he isn’t very tall.

I also call him “pudding,”

’Cause he has no shape at all.

I used to call him “cookie”

Just to see if he would crumble.

I never call him “pie” because

He isn’t very humble.

I sometimes call him “fruitcake,”

’Cause he acts like such a nut.

And once I called him “sticky buns”

And kicked him in the butt!

I love to tease my brother

And to call him things to eat,

And—Hey! My brother bit me!

Well, I guess he’s not so sweet!
