The Other Other Half

For NaiSaiKu Challenge?

She’s not his sister
But she’s his sister’s sister
HALF HERS WHO’S HALF HIS
Makes her his sister's sister
But not his sister

    Thanks Andy: A combination of death, divorce and unplanned pregnancy...perhaps

    Thanks Lost Mermaid; closely related or almost related? sometimes not easy to work out.

    That is the most fun I have had all morning! Sometimes these little ditty's make you cock your head to the side and smile - I love it!

    Thanks to:
    Thom G; One way of looking at the extended family.
    Janet Jarrell; What NaiSaiKu is about, I guess - looking on the lighter side and having fun.

    Nice poem achieving complication and causing thought in the reader in such a short space of time.

    Thanks Dr. Marc Latham; Just a thought I had about how brothers/sisters might not actually be related.
