Growing up, I saw love as a contest.
A man was an object of conquest.
But I live with my parents,
A burden and scared, with
No husband, no money, no prospects.
Thanks for reading! This poem is a submission to the Ludicrous Limericks Challenge and is based on the Pride and Prejudice (2005) quote from character Charlotte Lucas: "I'm twenty-seven years old. I've no money and no prospects. I'm already a burden to my parents. And I'm frightened."
Which, same.

Not sure if I actually have to hit the 100-word minimum for the Poets Community if it's for a Challenge... but now I have.
