She is beautiful
Three years younger than me.
But light years ahead of me.
She is my sister.

I put myself in charge of her safety
Her modesty her heart.
I have seen the robots and androids
Of men bragging  their locker room conquest.
This will not happen to her I promise.

At sixteen  I threatened her prom date
With castration if he ..well just if he.
She did not seemed pleased
When he ratted me out to her.

At twenty one
Her boyfriend from college
Was taking liberties with her.
I noticed his hands when he thought
No one was looking.

His warning included.
A second appendage

Then I met her girlfriend.
*** she was beautiful
I daydreamed of things we we do one day
My hands were not totally innocent on dates.

Then we went away for the weekend
To New England
Walking the beaches of Cape Cod.
The small rose covered B and B
Was so romantic .
In bed I slipped my hand over her
And pulled her close to me.

I can't she said softly
Why not I asked almost mad.
Your sister said she would
Throw acid on me
If I took advantage of you.

A year late
We go out on foursomes
My sister and her latest boy friend
And her beautiful friend and I
The truce has remained unbroken
And we both live our youth to the full.
