It’s harder to like Lucas
with his smug toothless smile
and his requirement of entitlements.
He always acts like he has the answers
but really,
rarely does.

His brother is better.
Grant seems so responsible
so mature
though he’s barely a year senior
to silly Lucas.
Grant is a guy
that I could learn to respect
and love, while Lucas
is lesser.
Lucas is a loser.
Lucas
is likely a loss
and Grant is just great.

It’s gonna be a sad day
when I have to break it
to their mother
about the marked inferiority
of her littlest boy
I hope Sally will appreciate the info
eventually.
It will be good
to rip the bandage off
and tell her outright.
A grandfather knows these things.
