'Just About The Time' Poem by Linda Winchell

Just about the time,
that your kids have all flown the nest!
you and your partner are getting ready
to take a vactions much needed rest!

Just about that time,
in walk all the children again!
Because they can't handle the world on their own!
Now your empty nest once thought
is now an adult filled, foster home!

Just about the time,
you've made your mind up to diet, and eat wise!
In roll all those Holiday dinners out!
And you've put two extra inches
back on your hips and thighs!

Just about the time,
you are ready to retire
and collect saved up money!
Your wife pipes up
with her shocking news!
'I want a Divorce,
and I'm leaving you honey! '

Just about the time,
you have finally gotten ready to live
someone brings the bad news to you
that you, haven't much time I'm afraid to live!
