Babysitting is difficult and often considered a chore
To those that see this as a task will often hate it more
Watching over children is quite difficult to do,
when their screaming and yelling are all taunting you
Your patience is tried, your nerves are all bent,
you wonder and wonder where your intelligence went
“Why me?! Why me?!” is what you will think,
The message is clear, damn you need a drink
Before that sip is taken, think back and reminisce
of those great childhood days that you so often miss
To be a child and see the fun things in life
is better than coping with the stress and the strife
Being happy, carefree, while being young and so small
is the greatest feeling to have most of all
It’s no different now than it was back before
Only thing is you understand it even more
You’ve now realized what your parents went through
You’ve known all along it would happen to you
Take heed my child for you’ve surely grown
Let this come to mind and let it be known
Your help was required because you understand and care
Your sympathy and kindness to the children should you share
So remember this poem for one day you’ll see
You’ll go through this again when you start your family.
