Get a Sitter

He said “get a sitter’
She knew it was too late
“Come on! He urged her. “This will be great!”

He wanted to rekindle the kind of love they used to have.
Before they became parents and got stagnant and boring.
She would have liked that too, but her dream was of snoring.

She felt hurried and irritated.
He was angry that his dream she disintegrated.

We could have a stay-cation here, she offered.
Getting a sitter is way too hard, but it would be fun. 
So he got his mother, who was the right one.

The result of the romantic vacation was later found to be twins.
“Don’t expect me to watch four!” His mother told them.
So now many stay-cations were about to begin.
