Baby-Sitting, Afterdark
December 27, 2009
The kids
Are asleep.
Now,
Its time
For me to
RELAX.
I cuddle-
With a book.
“Crack”
What was that?
Startled.
But back to the book.
Again!
Noises…
Louder,
Closer.
The dog?
No dog…
No pets…
The kids?
Still asleep.
Back to the book.
More noises,
They cause me to jump.
Oh what,
Could it be?
It’s only,
Me and the kids.
Oh,
When,
Will the parents
Be home?
Then,
I won’t
Have to worry,
About the noises,
As much.
