She Laughs Like a Donkey Braying

She laughs like a donkey braying except it’s more annoying.
She tells tall tales so often, her hideously ugly nose has grown.
Bart had never heard Joey say so many mean things about anyone.
Wait until you meet her, he told him. She will seem nice. Don’t believe.

When they reached Joey’s parents’ house a beautiful blonde ran out.
She grabbed Joey, , twirling him around, as if he was a toy top.
This is sister, Joey said as she reached for Bart and gave him a hug.
Bart was enchanted and instantly smitten.
She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

Why did you tell me all that bad stuff? He asked Joey that evening.
If I had told you the truth about her, would you have believed me?
You mean that your sister is the prettiest, 
most enthusiastic girl in the world?

The best friends grinned at each other, feeling closer than ever before.
