Anne The Great Poem by Anandita Bhalerao

Anne the Great
Loved to be in the limelight,
If she wasn't taken to the Oscar's,
She wouldn't eat a bite!

Her father said, 'Oh Anne,
Why are you acting this way?
Please be your old self again
And make me happy and gay! '

But Anne the Great would not listen,
Especially not to her father,
When she got angry,
She punched her 2 year old brother!

'We cannot let her act like this, '
Her mother said in tears,
'She is getting too rude,
Especially to her peers.'

So a thousand toys they gave to her,
In the hope that she would be better,
But the only thing our Anne liked,
Was a bright red sweater.

She took it to school with her,
And showed off to her friend,
But despite all her parents efforts,
Her excitement came to an end.

So finally her parents gave up,
And accepted her for who she was,
But they still had one last hope,
It was that one day, Anne would decide to follow their laws.

They figured it didn't matter,
If they left her in this pathetic state,
So folks, if you ever see a girl in red,
Remember Anne the Great!
