Granny's Undies

granny always showed her undies
she babysat me on sundays
they had red poke-dots
that covered a lot
granny said it was our fun days

Premium Member My Court Date Awaits

Flying a kite in an electrical storm
      Frying an egg in the desert sand
   Parachuting into a big, red barn
      Pitching a tent in quicksand

   My army training prepared me well
      Stayed calm midst crises, never yelled
   The consummate pro... 'til I babysat five kids one night
      Said, "Go to sleep now, kids," and turned out the lights

Premium Member Tale of a Legal Immigrant

   My wife was a legal immigrant to the USA
     She waited years to receive the OK

   Fired from her job in the USSR
     She ate only potatoes for a whole year
   Stripped of her citizenship, she lived in constant fear 

   Came here, got four months of rapidly declining public aid
     Took ESL, computer courses, babysat – she was truly self-made

   Today she’s a high-level business analyst at Blue Cross
     And in our happy home ~ the undisputed boss

Premium Member when I was sweet sixteen

At sweet sixteen, I had a job at a supermarket
Worked after school until nine
my boyfriend worked at a competing grocery
at a quarter until nine he came over and sacked
to get me out of there sooner
People said "Joe, aren't you at the wrong store?"
This was a small town.

On weekends I babysat.
Back in the day we were paid $1.25 at the grocery store.
Babysitting paid a quarter an hour for six children.
I was not getting rich, but I was getting experience
and money for college.
