I’m heading to Mobile for the Memorial Day weekend, visiting my parents for the first time since Christmas and the first time as a divorcee (back in January, for those keeping score at home), and my Mom asks if I’m bringing someone with me. I’m sure she’ll have tons of suggestions where I can meet me some single ladies when I get there, mostly involving church.
Yeah.
‘Cause the thirty or so
Single ladies I know
Are just lining up to get with me,
My life is so hard
They camp out in the yard
And compose odes to my virility.
See? Poetic! I’m sensitive! Or sarcastic, one.
Maybe there’s a nice young lady on Brooks Road¹ looking for a weekend getaway. Suggestions?
¹ For those of you not in Memphis, Brooks Road is a pretty good area to pick up prostitutes. I’m sure you got that in context. ?
