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. May 13, 2023 Contest :Empty Nest Sponsor: Cooper Etheridge

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?

Ann, thank you so very much, scared to enter because not the sweet loving expression, I think expected. I might include this one in my up coming book. I'm getting approval from commenters to use their comments. May I use yours? Thanks for visiting!
