A Warning To Clinging Vines

Move over and give me some space
Too tight is your strangling embrace
I am suffocating

I’d hate to have to buy some mace
Spray it in your possessive face
Loving turns to hating

Good one that some women and I suppose some me face in their lifetime..Thanks for stopping by..Premie pants placed on Princess and tie her soft collar around the pants to hold them up..She can't get to her tail now..Thank goodness that we came up with something that is helping and she is loving it because it helps her stay warm.Sara
