Kenneth’s Kin

kenneth
kimbrough’s
closest kin,
that is, his
numerous
siblings,
included
the following
lady kimbroughs:

persephone
(goes by pursie)

cassandra, who
makes a rootin-
tootin casserole

medea, the doctor,
whose surgeries
always seem
to involve the
medulla oblongata

lizzie (birth name
lysistrata cuz
dad had had a
humdinger of a
penchant for
aristophanes)

renata, who’d
grown from the
spindliest of the
litter to the hottest
gal in all of Nebraska

melea, who seems
like such a shy gal
only it is really just 
an intense and general
disinterest that has
her often come across
in such a way.

corrina and cornea
are the twins. and
while their pops knew
ancient literature
inside and out, he
was anatomically
clueless, and so
one of the twins
who also happened
to have a pair of eyes
that looked consistently
in opposite directions
was bullied from
adolescence to
graduation (yet
thanks to intense
twinly competition,
cornea fortuitously
graduated class
valedictorian, much
to corrina’s chagrin).
