The Kissing Game Babysitter Kiss

I used to baby-sit a lot, when I was young I was a well sort after young miss I get on really well with kids And they liked the babysitters kiss. Each small child I put to bed A story then a quick kiss on the head I’d settle down to watch TV And eat the supper they left for me. Each time they mostly came in late But always walked me to my gate Then one night after a fancy dress The couple came home in a bit of a mess. Their baby had played up as well I’d only just settled her and I did tell Don’t worry we know of the babysitters kiss It’s all they want from you young miss. I looked at him in his fancy dress costume Not sure what flashed out in the gloom I asked him as we reached our path He opened his cloak and his thing did flash. I went as a flasher, I tell you miss Now it's time to give the babysitter a kiss… I looked at his thing a flashing light well placed And told him his battery need to be replaced He drunkenly tried his hand on this young miss He wanted to give me, his babysitter, a kiss I reminded him his daughter would be a young miss She may be the babysitter a drunk wants to kiss. © ~GG~ 22/08/2012

LOL, I'm still shaking with laughter as I'm typing this, Mandy. You're a tonic. No, Halloween was never celebrated at all when I was a kid - Sue and I love the fun of it all now (too old for trick or treat, though!)

this was GREAT and I really could relate to it because I had a man who came on to me big time when I babysat for him and his wife. It was a really scary situation because I was only 13 and this jerk was always trying to touch my boobs when his wife left the room. Oh boy,if I could revisit my youth, the damage I would do to jerks like that!!!

ha If I had boobs at the time I could perhaps in the minutest way have understood the attraction but it was then I realised he was drunk, I was flat as a board then being only 13 or so in fact flat until I was about 18 and then well....xx

I never understood why parents would leave me, a 13 year old on crutches and even from the age of 11, looking after there most treasured possessions, life is a mystery sometimes. Stay cool Jeff xx

Oooo... this is a weird tale (of a weird 'tail'?)... I hope it isn't true... In any case, a good poem (that gives me the heebee-jeebees)... Terry
