babysitting my sister's child on halloween

A Poem by J. Randall Dodd

sh¡t-eating jack-o-lantern grin
he lives to prank
evil spawn of closest kin's
high on crank


♫♫ la, de, da-- la, de, da--
ladefreakin' da ♫♫


sugared sweetie-pie
i'm wishin' for diabetic coma
he's pirate-patched (one eye)
& hid my god d@mn soma®


♪♪ tra, la, la-- tra, la, la--
tralafreakin' la ♪♪


shoulda seen it comin'
woulda taken measures
coulda sprinkled poison
in his grape kool-aid® mixture


har, de, har, har--

just couldn't say no to my sister

Love this one! I dig the honesty and the blatant admission that babysitting was a duty to a sister, rather than a pleasurable service opportunity. This packs wicked entertainment value and to say "well done" is an understatement. Can't wait to read more of your work!

I like that this goes against the cliches of how cute and fun baby sitting can be. As always, you have a distinct way with words. I hope you wouldn't actually poison his kool-aid :) haha.
