Cousin Clair

Cousin Clair

A Poem by Khushi
"

We all have a cousin we dont look forward to meeting. The poem is about one such person and his cousin Clair.

"
In the morning, I open the larder shelf
to get some chocolates for myself,
my mother warned me herself
"Don't you dare!
Those are for little Clair!"

"Clair? When, where and how?"
"Your aunt is dropping her now."
The doorbell rings and its time for me to bow.
"Don't you dare
being rude to little Clair!"

As the little devil enters, I say
"M going. I have a match to play!"
"Take her along." my Mom says to make my day.
"Don't you dare
saying no to take little Clair!"

On our way we meet Mr. and Mrs. McCall 
"We're going to play baseball
but Clair'd like to be with you all."
"Don't you dare
to take little Clair!"

I reach the field without company
to hear the news from Kenny
"No match due to the absence of Danny."
Seeing my rage he adds, "Don't you dare
to complain! He's gone to meet little Clair."

I leave the field full of frustration,
with a ruined day due to the cancellation.
Thanks to the impact Clair has on the whole population.
I murmur, "Don't you dare
to act smart with little Clair."

Make it better? I think you did a great job. Your rhyme scheme flows very well with the story line. Minus a few easily fixable grammatical errors, you did a great job. I very much liked the ending; it made me laugh. It's cute. I like it :)
