When children’s chronology be toddlery,
and siblings engage in rivalry,
no parent’s inclined toward mollycoddlery.
Let the younger call out for the cavalry
and mother sees not his own devilry,
then the older must bend toward kind chivalry.
With taunting and trash-talking revelry,
the junior assails his elder brotherly
until thunked by well-aimed missilery.
The perpetrator was last seen heading southerly.
