Pete Peters’ Little Sister

(March 3/08)

Pete Peters’ sister had a rabbit’s-lip and small squinty eyes. Pete Peters played goals for the Junior B hockey team and wore socks with his summer sandals. His sister had a hamster with muddy brown fur and a crossed eye, the other one was almost crossed. Pete Peters’ little sister fed her hamster cut up radish heads, and sometimes when her mother let her, parsnips and yellow beans. She didn’t care all that much for hockey, or other sports like running or vaulting, so stayed home when her parents went to watch her brother play goals. Peter Peters grew up and became a plumber’s assistant, his sister moved into one of those group-homes for slow adults where they didn’t allow any pets, not even crossed eyed hamsters.
