Sit

Is baby-sitting your career
Barbara-Ann?
I ask because
you are quite mature for this job.
Are you doing this
while going to college?
Oh. Well
how’s Junior year of High School treating you?

Normally, I interview the sitters
with the missus
but it’s clear she made a great choice
all on her own.
I have no qualms about leaving you
here
with my children
all alone.
If you need anything, please give me a call.
Even after tonight.
Really,
I want to be there for you.

Barbara-Ann, I leave my kids
in your quite well-manicured hands
and cherry-painted lips
and…
don’t let Henry stay up too late.
He may try to press your buttons
and I feel pretty certain
that he may try to wrestle with you.

If you decide to
I think it’ll make his year.

I’ll see you later
Barbara-Ann
when I come to relieve you
and maybe give you a ride home.
I’ll talk to you then.
I’ll be back.
Have a gorgeous night…
