The Bookworm Set

She took that ring, that giant promise ring. We all saw it, stunned, really, she’s much too young. He saw her as the one, didn’t want to look around, But she did, she saw the get out clause, before A huge mistake. Now the field is open wide — College by her side, the bookworm set. 12/1/2019

I was married at 19; worked for me but today's women have so many choices. Back in 1970 I only felt I had four - nurse, teacher, wife, secretary.

As the world turns. As the young man will learn, there's more than one fish in the sea... Life lessons...
