The Weanling
A musing on the optimal time to leave the nest!
A Myki card is a public transport travel card.
I knew a young man who lived with his mother,Left grubby clothes to be washed by another.His dirty dishes he left in the sink,Hogged the remote without even a blink.He daily lazed in bed till noon,Gaming online via Skype and Zoom.Finally one day his mother sighed,“Enough! It’s time to wean you, Clyde!"She placed his manky belongings outdoors,Gave him a packed lunch wrapped in gauzeKissed him fondly, gave him a Myki,And said adamantly “Give me back my key!”She closed her door, changed the locks.Threw him an extra pair of socks,Rented his room to a Danish backpackerAnd gave up her work as a Coles shelf stacker.The moral of this tale - I speak not in jest,Is, “Never piss in your own nest”.
