mother lost patience and hid be-
hind a door in another room,
leaving the baby sitter to cope
with their antics, rescue them
from under the stove and be-
hind the refrigerator, keep the
horsemeat dish replenished and
referee three-way wrestling
matches. Oh, oh! our beautiful
girl bandits of the old west,
Calamity Jane and Belle Starr,
woke up and started row. In
