My brother and his lover are a pain,

That sets upon my brow a weary frown.

I swear that if they go at it again,

I'll grab the nearest gun and shoot them down.

The yearning looks and sighs were bad enough;

Furtive touches, stolen kisses, quite the show.

But now it seems that they both like it rough,

And this I really did not need to know.

A pillow only drowns out half the noise.

The walls are thin; alas, my poor bed shakes.

And it is hard to hide that it annoys,

When I've heard every moan my brother makes.

Still, if he's happy, silence I will keep.

And just resign myself to losing sleep.
