Best Babysitter

Your dog is your best babysitter You can’t count on your cat Cats never seem to care enough And you can count on that Your dog will let kids use them As a pillow or a stool And if your baby’s willing He will lick away her drool He will let the baby poke him And even pull his hair Then snuggle up beside him And go to sleep right there He’ll stand there at the window While your daughters staring too And he might even warn you When her diapers full of poo But don’t ask for help with bathing And don’t let him guard her lunch He really hates the former And the latter? – just a hunch Your cat, like I was saying Thinks all humans are a bore Just something else within their realm That they’ll choose to ignore Mdailey 2/2/12

This is so cute, Mike. I am a cat person and you are so right about them. They are so selfish. Enjoyed your poem. Love, Kim
