Abby's School Poem

Abby recited a poem in front of her 2nd grad class entitled "I Have a Baby-sitter Here With Me. This poem can be sung to the song "I Have a Little Baby Bumblebee," but she didn't sing it.

I Have a Baby-sitter Here With Me

I have a baby-sitter here with me

She's on the phone while she's watching TV

I thought she was supposed to play with me

Now.....she's hungry!

My baby-sitter's gonna raid the snacks

Cookies, candy, a box of Cracker Jack

She chomped so fast that right before my eyes

She....ate the prize!

Wait till my parents come home, what a fit

Bet they'll never ask her back to sit

Oh no, what am I saying? I'd miss her

She's.....my sister!

Abby wore her pajamas and brought a pizza box and some papers wadded up like garbage. Mrs. Paice, her 2nd grade teacher, is putting the microphone around her neck so the class can hear her. She spoke plainly and confidently and was hardly even nervous!
