Spare Time, Spare Change
Copping to the very sad reality
of being totally tired
of fulsome babysittingin my warm and fuzzy
though admittedly odd audition video
pleading for job-sharing workthis once grandpa-nanny
then more recently dissed geriatric
barista now hopes to become ownerof a bankrupt ice cream truck company
complete with down-home jingle—
or at least their employee eligible for tips.
