In a few buildings

Flyers she pins up.

A mother calls her,

Spiky almost throws-up.


She got a job

To watch a 7 year old.

The little girl was pretty bold.

With lots of energy and imagination.

Spiky stays calm and patient.

At times she tells the girl, "No!"

And "Wash your bowl."


Back and forth they would

Persuade one another.


Through the running around,

Disagreements,

And Spiky's few achievements,


Somehow and some way

The little girl likes

Whenever Spiky comes to play.
