Spare Time, Spare Change

Spare Time, Spare Change

Copping to the very sad reality
of being totally tired
of fulsome babysitting

in my warm and fuzzy
though admittedly odd audition video
pleading for job-sharing work

this once grandpa-nanny
then more recently dissed geriatric
barista now hopes to become owner

of a bankrupt ice cream truck company
complete with down-home jingle—
or at least their employee eligible for tips.
