The Babysitter

She turns on the television As she hears the sirens sound She tries to call the children's parents But they're no where to be found Only sixteen, she's scared and all alone The children only two and four She is a very dependable babysitter Tho she's only done it twice before "It's time to seek immediate shelter" She heard the announcer say What was she going to do? For it was heading right their way She stuffs the children under the bed And headed down the hall The winds pick up and the skies grow dark As the hail begins to fall She tries to close the windows As the wind takes her breath Then she hears a crashing sound That literally scares her half to death She runs back to check the children And takes them by the hand The wind has blown the windows out And it almost impossible to stand She takes them to the bathroom And finally shuts the door She hears the sound of a locomotive Something, she's never heard before She puts the children in the tub And sits the mattress on top The whole house began to shake As they prayed for it to stop The roof is finally ripped away As the brother holds his sister All three scream in horror As they stare into the twister But when they thought they'd surely die The funnel just disappears They shiver in the darkness As they try to calm their fears The storm had finally ended And somehow they all survived They knew this night was over When their parents finally arrived
