For a second-grade assignment, Gayle‘s daughter Martha, age 7, was assigned to write an acrostic poem about a family member, using descriptive words beginning with each letter of their title (Mother, Grandpa, etc.) Martha chose to compose this loving ode to her SISTER.

I love how it starts out nice and then the evilness shows through. No wonder she gets easily mad when you call her a turd..

I love how it started off benevolently enough, until the second S reminded her of how much her sister likes to scream, and it all went downhill from there.

S is for suck
U is for you
C is for rooster
K is for Kellogg’s cereal.
Do I have any idea what this means?
Of corse not!

I loved it! A+ for honesty and for using such a gritty and unpopular choice on whom to write your poem about.

N–is for Night, which is time to sleep, not time to stand outside yelling without your hearing aid on.
E–is for Ended, as in the hippy days are gone, so when you flash me the peace sign whenever I drive buy, don’t get pissed off when I flash my one-fingered peace sign back.
I–is for Idiot, which you no doubt are and are proud of it.
G–is for Go Away, as in please move south like you keep threatening to do.
H–is for House, which is what that shithole once was.
B–is for Buy a fucking lawn mower, please.
O–is for Oregano, what you call those plants growing in your back yard.
R–is for Roof, which you might want to Replace before it actually caves in.

Quite Contrary
Frankly, I think some of Martha’s bitterness comes from her own name. Who names a seven year old Martha these days?

I’m impressed by the handwriting and spelling. That’s great for a 7 year old.

Tell us how you really feel, Martha. I’m going to assume this was to a younger sister, and Martha was upset that she was no longer an only child?

That is quite the poem. I’m not sure I would have had the courage to write this. She must be extremely angry with her sister. What kind of grade do you think the teacher gave her?

Was the first one supposed to be “Soccer” instead of “Soccr”? If I were her sister, years from now, I wouldn’t let her live this down.

I expected more inner rage from a girl called Martha II. Perhaps fist-stamped stationary with tooth-scalloped corners? Blood-inked calligraphy?

Well at least she didn’t put the sentiment on a tombstone, like what happened to this guy: http://www.snopes.com/photos/signs/headstone.asp
