Cougar and Cub

There once was this gal – much older And I being young but bolder Took hold of her hand Said I am your man But she gave me the old cold shoulder Now I – being not a quitter Thought how am I going to get her I must make her mine The very next time My parents get a baby sitter Written - 6/19/11 by mdailey For Dr. Mehta's contest - Cougar Effect

Adoration of baby sitter, so much love, her eyes don't glitter, with eternal love, she's in charge, don't be bitter, I have worshipped her the sitter, Unrequited love... good one mate, Don

Aw, this is so cute, Mike. WhenI was a teen babysitting, I really enjoyed the little boys' company. This is very clever and sure to please Dr. Ram. Jack and I are judging our contest blindly, so we don't know who wrote which poem. I can say that we have received some great entries and only a few with misspellings. Wishing you success in Dr. Ram's contest! Love, Carolyn

very creative and well written piece, good luck in the contest. thank you for commenting on Father's Day Wish. My dad was 66 when he died, i was 27 when he died. I am 67 going on 68 now. i grew up without him, and started to get to know him around 18, but did not see him the last 6 months of his life, thank you again for taking time to read my poem.

My dad was about 34 when he died - I was barely three. I never knew the man. This October marks the 60th anniversary since his passing.
