My guardians are heading
out to a dinner party
leaving me and my stepbrother
with a sitter. The sitter
may be an old lady that
enjoys baking sweets
to stuff us for the oven.
Maybe the sitter is some
crazy old man
from the army, showing
us how to be a organized
unit or place us in
fear. I tell them we
don't need a sitter
I could watch Ken
while they have fun
baring them with a sheepish
smile. Guardian one said "I'm
not mature enough".
Guardian two said "they already
found someone and he's
at the door.
Opening the door I see Roger,
the same person in my class.
Who I would trade for
the crazy army man, or the
old lady to stuff me in
the oven any
night.

Oops - I read the other poem first and already replied there. Oh, well, this is good back story for that.

Even the best babysitters can be a bit dangerous. Really sucks to get a crummy one.

To Marchmadness Roger is just a big old jerk with no sense in any mind. Who's sitting for her and step bro, who's the same age as her. also thanks for reading and commenting.

To easy1 thanks for your comment as well and yes babysitters can be dangerous, also crummy indeed.
