next door,
a high school girl driving
a brand new
Lamborghini,
cherry red.
she's the neighborhood
babysitter
who was born and raised
in Minnesota.
dang,
i say to her, nice ride.
business must
be good.
yep, she says, swinging
her Prada purse around her
shoulder.
strutting proudly
in her Jimmy Choo shoes.
i have over two hundred
clients now.
wow,
how do you find the time.
oh, it's easy.
i rented an empty
warehouse
and the government
sends me money
for each one i have registered.
she gives me a wink.
Governor Walz is my godfather,
by the way,
so i learned a lot from him.
hey, she says, we're opening
up more locations
soon. we're trying to have
a franchise all over
the United States.
join in if you want to,
quit your job, babysitting is
a gold mine.
