The Black Family Of Whitestone ... Page Five

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 
 
In the land of the 2.0 Oliverios,
there is a big  birthday celebration today
—festive and heavenly—
with the one condition that proves 
God works in mysterious ways:
the birthday celebrant
is NOT invited
 
The birthday girl is my  "baby" sister
 
Judi is needed on terra firma
by her four children, six grandchildren
and all the men who turn heads
when she walks by

Not to mention how much
her living brother needs her

The most stunning thing about 
my sister's birthday
is that she looks 
20 years younger
than she actually is
 
This  occasionally irks me
because I look only
thirteen years younger
than I actually am
