Moving Day

It’s clear after this perfunctory bout, I’m packin’ your things and you’re movin’ out! On our first day we both made such grand vows, now I hear you’re stepping out to carouse. That Megan teen’s “preggers” and they say it’s yours; how fast can I toss your butt through the doors? You promised to love (in good times only?) Megan’s folks are movin’; guess you’ll be lonely. Think you’re the gold ring on all carousels? Stick around, I’ll muster a few more decibels. I’ll toss ya a bone; go fetch it Fido. Keep running, don’t come home. That’s a no-no! I’d expect loyalty from “man’s best friend” Now scoot! I need a laugh from your back end.

Ha ha, that is such a great write, Carolyn, I just love it! The humor is quite welcome to handle the gloom of the separation they're going through! Lovely write!!
