Caren Krutsinger Poet Enclosed Rhyme

Her Sweet 42 Year-Old-Boy

She loved her forty-two year old boy, so completely,
He was her obedient little guy, 
His actions never made her sigh or cry.
She was glad to fold his laundry ever so neatly.

The arrangement was not one hundred percent sweetly,
As his dad was not totally on board.
Tried to move junior out, on his own accord.
To a studio apartment over in Wheatley.

Mama thought she could keep her baby rather neatly,
But he ran off with a bossy looking dame.
Who was soon wearing the family’s good name.
Now they’re living with Mom, in her basement, discreetly.

Sylvia Coulstock August 8, 2018 at 8:55 AM Yes Caren some Mums want to feel needed and won’t let their children go or grow up.You’ve captured this very well in this write. Caren Krutsinger August 8, 2018 at 7:02 PM Thank you Sylvia. I do not understand this situation at all myself, my own three could not wait to leave. I barely remember them living at home.

Line Gauthier August 6, 2018 at 12:16 AM That is my idea of a nightmare, Caren. But of course, that's exactly how you meant it! Well done. Caren Krutsinger August 6, 2018 at 10:58 AM I know a woman whose boys have never left home; she loves it and they are 46 and 44.
