The reason my big brother’s wearing a baseball cap to school today

He doesn’t blame the hairdresser,

I suppose that’s only fair.

But instead he’s blaming me

for his missing chunk of hair.

I just asked: “Would you like pizza?”

Then I heard the hairdresser swear.

My brother ought to know not to nod

while the hairdresser’s dressing his hair.

The circus sisters’ tongue twister

For years the Kirkus Sisters did the circus circuit. Everyone in circus circles knew the Kirkus Sisters. But nowadays the two old sisters, I suppose, serve little purpose in circuses. And feeling worthless, the Kirkus Sisters curse the circus business.
