Get a Sitter Daddy Said

Get a sitter Daddy said.
Mom tried the four they knew.
None would come back.
We had played the trick on all of them.

We are identical twins.
One of us would yell “Sissy is running away!”
The sitter would chase them from front door to back door.
Once the twin was inside, the other twin would lock the back door too.

Both twins in.
Baby sitter outside.
