TEENAGER

Now that my brother's a teenager
He has turned into a bore,
And now he's growing hairs
Where he didn't have them before.

He has lost the power of speech,
He now acts like a spoilt brat;
Mum says it's just a phase
And I'll end up like that.

His body is now changing,
His emotions are all in knots,
His voice goes up and down
And his face is covered in spots.

He says that we don't understand
And that we no longer care.
He says he's now a young man
With spots and fluffy facial hair.

He wants a place of his own,
Dad says it's just a dream
Because it's hard to get a house
When you're only thirteen!
