A Question Of Timing,
or
Too Little Too Late.
They say I've an hourglass figure, but I know this might end up a lie.
I think that my middle is growing and could be a bump, by and by.
A baby's a lovely addition to a family unit, they say,
but a possible solitary parent may think "Oh, no! Lack-a-day!"
(or similar phrases of horror) at losing their singleton state.
But I have a sneaking suspicion I've left all the choices too late,
for instead of "Goodbye", I said "Hello! Come in!"
Now I'm thinking I've earned me the wages of sin!
Lovely! But your warning has come too late
ReplyDeleteIt is all good. It is all good!

it's never too late.. or else it always have some solution ;)
ReplyDeleteEach day anew we have the opportunity to make new choices and carve out a new future. We are not our passed mistakes UNLESS we repeat them over and over. Lovely write here. Love and Light, Sender
ReplyDeleteA great fun view... nice flip-flopping too!
ReplyDeleteI don't know about wages of sin- I prefer the
ReplyDeleteHello come in! Are congratulations in order?

What a great Magpie! The end of my singleton days is now almost 21, so this is certainly a tale that I could relate to.
ReplyDeleteWonderful post Jinksy..every end gives a new beginning :)
ReplyDeletedear me, Jinksy , nobody could take this one to be about you.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised you remember the days of bumps and sin, lucky you.
I love it! Very fun and clever.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations? Or r u still not sure how u feel?
ReplyDeletenice write...left all the choices too late...this is the danger we all face...nice magpie!
ReplyDeleteblessings come in many forms--here's to the possibilities!
ReplyDeleteThis made me smile. :)
ReplyDeleteI like the saying..."it's never too late." But my logical mind says that it sometimes is...but that doesn't mean it's too late for some other solution...so maybe a better saying would be, "I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're going and hook up with them later."
ReplyDeleteWages of sin ...sounds like fun ;-)
ReplyDeleteClever -- the wages of sin are paid off with a baby -- maybe...
ReplyDeletesuper smart one!
ReplyDeleteI love steviewren 's idea ask your dreams where they are going and just try to keep up.

Jinksy, you have now fixed an extraordinary picture of you in my mind, and I don't believe a word of it! I'll be mostly missing for the next few days - travelling - so happy poeming.
