Five Sisters Poem

5 Sisters
Four brothers that have wide acclaim,
They’re known both far and wide.
Everybody,Anybody,Somebody,& Nobody
Are so well known that they are full of pride.

But they have five sisters,
Just as inept at getting things done.
Perhaps their example is worse,
Than that of anyone.

The first of these is “Woulda”
She’s the best at making excuses
Dwelling in the past is her shame,
Failing to produce, she loses.

The next one is a city girl,
“Shoulda” lives in the town of regret,
She wishes she had,
But she hasn’t started yet!

“Coulda” is another sister,
Who rivals her big brothers,
By wasting opportunities,
As much as all the others.

“Usta” holds her head up high,
While telling of her past,
She acts like there’s no limit,
To how long time will last.

“Ima Gonna” is the last,
She talks of many missions.
But her efforts never start,
She may have good intentions.

If you try hard you just might see,
Yourself in one of these gals.
Better work- do all you can,
Not to become one of their pals.
