Expectations.

22 Replies

I've battled on most of my life

To meet folk's expectations

First the wife and then the kids

To gain their admirations

Sadly now I'm on my own

But my freedoms down the bog

It's hard the meet the expectations

Of short-arsed terrier dog!

You wouldn't have i any other way Don. Keep looking after her and hopefully she'll look after you. Oh I forget if she maybe a he. Sorry if I've made a mistake as your pooch may have a thing about equal opportunities too. Sent with a hug, oh no, no hugging either,

Midge is a bitch, in the nicest possible way. It would have helped to have named her a girly name but I called my previous terrier Midge and I couldn't rely on me remembering a new name, so she became Midge 2.

I know that feeling well when i awaken every day

Damn cat sat on my pillow as if she wants to say

Get out of bed you lazy sod and give me loads of treats

Or i will do something unpleasant all across your sheets

I will impregnate your bedding with lots of manky fur

And then i'll just sit here smiling and giving the odd purr. :)

Mr Don, I think its the tail end of the Winter blues, along with this huge hernia in my middle belly from the operation back in Oct. Fix one thing, another goes! It now looks like I have 3 boobs! Oh my..it farts, gurgles, sounds like a ocean and kicks like a baby! BUT>>>> Because of some inner parts gone, plus a bulge, I think I have more room to breathe? Even when I bend over, instead of cutting off my wind supply, I can breathe! Weird!!!I have been wearing my mask every time I go out. So I am not sickly!!! But my Motorhome is STILL broke! That is # 1 sadness! How is the Corona Virus over there? Hugs JANET127

As usual , Don, your humorous subject has a serious note. The level of expectations these days is very high and mostly unattainable for both men and women ! I feel sorry for young people just starting out.

Hopefully you can keep Midge happy !

Love

Corin
