Curse of the Empty Nest

CURSE OF THE EMPTY NEST

No way imagine empty nest, 
imagine, giving birth at thirty-five. 
Plus fact I’d never even changed a diaper,
so mother-hood … just prayed survive.

Then son became testy teen,
days couldn’t wait 
till time came son would leave.
Next day prayed he never would,
and then … He Did!

Shocking … imagine, finding myself alone 
with this man called, my spouse?
Crazy fools gotten hold of VIAGRA,
keeps chasing me ... all over the house.

Empty nest … don’t think so!
Cause this man won’t let me relax, 
can't even unwind alone with glass of wine.
Sex crazed fool … has one track mind!

Ladies, listen,” Lets proclaim Empty Nest … 
has brand new meaning ...
VACATION TIME”
Lets leave our sex crazed fools
and Viagra,  Home  Alone, 
in their …
Empty Nest.

Hi Ricky, nice hearing from you again. I was trying to be silly, and not a tearful Mom. I swing way off course on some contest. Don't place but have fun. Glad you found it fascinating. May I use your comment in my upcoming book and mention you in it. Other Souper's giving permission in soup mail to me?
