Here’s a little verse of mine about two best friends, published in A First Poetry Book, Macmillan.

It’s Best Friends Day today (June 8th, 2021), and this is one way to celebrate it. (Click on image to enlarge.)

And more clearly:

Different But the Same

Jo’s tall.                        I’m small.
She’s vegetarian.           I eat meat.
She’s a swimmer.           I’m an acrobat.
She’s got gerbils.           I’ve got a rat.
She has a sister.            I have a brother.
We’re totally different     from each other!

But in a way, we’re just the same.
We always agree which game to play,
and whatever she says, I was going to say,
and everything we say makes us giggle away.
So we’re not really different at all!
