Dear Heidi,
I wrote you a poem last night. I hope you like it. My only regret is having to use “Heidinkles” to make a rhyme work.
Love,
your older and more wrinkly sister
To my sister Heidi on her birthday:
You are my most pregnant sister
of all the sisters I’ve had
your belly houses a little Bun
which makes us the opposite of sad.
In Alaska you teach Pilates
flamenco and ballet as well
your friends all think you’re a ‘hottie’–
your dancer’s bod is quite swell.
If you keep making pregnancy look cute
we’re all bound to follow in suit,
so please look ugly for your two sisters’ sake
(though that’s actually impossible,
make no mistake).
I’ll be there for you through the years
and all the aging they will wreak
so if getting older ever brings you to tears,
I’ll look worse so that you can look chic!
You are now a year older, ‘Heidinkles’
but are still very free from any wrinkles
so eat a piece of cake
(but no whiskey with your steak)
and you’ll make it through the winter with twinkles.
Love that! Your sister is a gorgeous preggo girl and your writing is so clever. Thanks for the smile!
Qué bonito!!!!!
She is, indeed adorable. As is this little birthday ditty.
precious, sweetie pie. And Happy birthday to Heidi!
Thanks spankaroo!!!! I love it! You are so good at putting words together… and at making me feel special 🙂
I love you
Omgosh, this is the most adorable, hilarious, sweet poem ever. Sisters are such a blessing and you are so sweet to write this for yours. I hope she got a big laugh out of it–I know I did!
Thanks Veronica! Yes, sisters are pretty much the best thing ever. =)
I have two of my own–no boys in our family. Although it was pretty much fight-fight-fight growing up, we’re good buds now. 🙂
