A Poem for M

Vacation is the best.
You get to take a rest
from school and all that junk,
but this vacation stunk.

Your sister was so sick
she was truly pathetic.
Your parents had to work.
You could have been a jerk.

But no, you were a doll.
You tried to help us all.
You watched E on your own
and didn't even moan.

The first day you were sad
and you never got real glad,
but you made the best of it
and kept our spirits lit.

OK, you had some fun.
New blades helped a ton.
You met your friends to skate
and iced treats you ate.

You know we owe you one.
Someday soon we'll have some fun.
Now don't you get the flu!
But if you do, we'll care for you.
