Kidssssssssssssssssssssssss How Many of Us Have Them

Dingy diapers
Yelling until tonsils are sore

No, you cannot eat all the candy
Because Mom said not to give you anymore

Hitting and tattling on siblings
Leaky mucus filled noses

Boy! am I glad you all don't belong to me
Your parents will soon be here to collect

Gather your "Wiggles" D.V.D's
You don't have to go home...

Wait you do, because
You sure as hell can't stay here

I have nothing against children
I'm just relieved that at the end of the day 

You all belong to someone else
Because if left up to me

Child Protective Services
Would surely do an investigation

This is the last time,
I babysit for weed
