                A Sister

Risenshine, sounds  like raisins, 
Not though, Pa says Risenshine
Means morning is here, 
Get up, put on shoes, wash face. 

Risenshine, risenshine, I hear risenshine.
Pa, Pa. He is here, he is not taken off,
No monsters, no Germans tooked him.
He said, “Baby sister is here.” Who? 

“Ma has a baby girl. Lets go  home.”
Pat is gone, Foggy is too, but Ma is not.
Maybe monsters and Germans will go. 
Bye neighbor lady, it’s risenshine day.
