Match For Mom

Oh the lies we weave
When we are trying to deceive
No one is who they say they are
No matter how near or far

They say they are single
But when we probe very hard
They are still married
Though they lie about if afterwards

Their wife has not cared
In a very long time
They want to be someone's love
But they certainly will not be mine

The wife has died
They are now alone they see
Someone needs to look after them
But it's not going to be me

They want either a nurse
Or they want to share your purse
No one cares if they hurt you
They care not what they do

The site says you will find your love
The promises made are not as you see
Might as well quit today
There will be no match for me

Not to worry I am capable. Remember I am Woman hear me Roar It is the best phrase I have ever heard. Thanks for being so protective but I am invincible. It is just another phase in life and life is to be lived. Hugs to you Edith

Ha ha, you have to admit you have been amused along the way. You should write some of the stories, they are rather entertaining!

I think I have been entertaining enough with my flag Though one has to admit that a lot of it has been fun as long as we do not take it seriously love Mom
