They Have To Touch
by
Phil Pochurek
Constant companions to one another
Like the sun and the moon
This sister and brother.
Eating and sleeping and playing hard
Chasing each other across the yard.
Running around both table and chair
Or chewing a pair of your underwear.
Always in sight of one another
Inseparable this sister and brother.
Rolling and wrestling or chewing an ear
On top or the bottom they don’t really care.
They take turns being selfish and tough
And take turns when they share,
Then fall asleep when they’ve had enough.
It takes a lot of work to play all day
And spend long hours waiting alone,
Wondering when you’re coming back
Waiting for you to come home.
Always together this faithful pair
Awake or asleep, alone or with you,
Loving you and each other so very much.
There’s only thing they need to do,
They have to touch.
