Sibs of Celebs

     1. Younger brother of Holmes creator 

Siddhartha Conan Doyle,
is apprenticed to a mohel
and's finesser than Der Messer with his knife.
Hep to epee, shiv and foil,
Sidd can lance your weeping boil.
Who's his mate-de-mayhem...? Martha. (She's the wife.)

     2. Kid sister of famed Civil War general 

Lizzie Simpson Grant
is devoted to her aunt.
Whither Aunt Corisma visits, Liz is there.
Is this Liz a sycophant
or some State Department plant...?
Nope, Ms. Liz is but Aunt's Class II legal heir.


     3. Rags-to-riches kid brother of famed New Critic

"Rabbit" Penn Warren
appears, to some, foreign.
It seems, though, his story's mundane.
In fact, he's Andorran.
(As promised, it's borin':
his mum was some slum bitch from Spain.) 

     4. Ne'er-do-well sister of business magnate 

Blondie Rockefeller:
had this gal been born a feller,
she'd have shared in brother John's ill-gotten gains.
But instead the girl turn'd heller --
her descent from grace quite stellar.
Blondie's tale reads like some narrative of Twain's.

          (a work in progress)  

     5. Older brother of telecom pioneer 

Ellis Sandor Graham Bell

     6. Bright young thing sister of American novelist
