By the twinkling stars stealing away with my heart
Under this mischievous moon
Babysitting
I went to my neighbor's one day
To go babysitting- hooray!
The boy, four years old is he,
started to annoy me
He named his stuffed animals
One by one
I thought that he would never get done!
"This dog's name is Chicken Muck," he said
Yuck! It sounded like something dead.
He pointed to a ceramic squirrel.
"His name is Basket Whakit!" he shouted
This kid was mad! I did not doubt it!
He ran off to the living room
I was preparing to meet my doom
He had started jumping around
And sing little Bow Wow
Holy cow! What was I to do now?
After surviving eight hours of this mess
I must confess
I do not regret my time spent there
Although I was frazzled from my feet to my hair!
