SIBLINGS
** Image ID #867742 Unavailable **
The little deer looked all around
the yard in which she grazed
and the sights that she beheld
caused her to be amazed!

"What are these creatures?
Could they be - family of mine?"
The pink flamingos didn't move,
just stood looking mighty fine.

They didn't move about at all,
And they didn't speak a word;
The little deer thought a while
and considered each one a nerd!

"I belong to the family here!"
the deer spoke in a haughty way;
"If I were sure you were family too,
I guess you could all stay!"

"We can't pick and choose our family,
but if siblings are what you are -
I'm the better off by being ME!"
Then she laughed a deer "HA!HA!"

The flamingos didn't even blink
and they surely didn't care
that the deer thought she was family;
they just gave her a glassy stare!
