Poem Artwork


Enumerating first things first
Often make me think I'm cursed.

"For item one, use firstly first."
This twisted English sounds the worst.

Firstly came my sister Jean.
Then came my brother in between.

And lastly came poor little me
But "lastly" drives me up a tree.

Why can't I say that "Jean came first"
Instead of sayng "firstly" first.

(c) 2006 Henry L. Lefevre

Love this one! Firstly, because it's good,
and lastly, because it made me chuckle.
Well-done! :)
