Empty Nester

Writer: Edward RiederichEdward Riederich

Now that I am an empty nester 

It seems I can now act as an investor

I'm living big and I'm living high

Keep reading and I will tell you why


The kids are gone, they have gone their way

Now I can visit Starbucks two times a day

The baristas there now know my name

But they don't know the empty nester I became


They can charge me $7 for that drink

But about the price I don't even think

Maybe those workers see some red flags

Because now it looks like I am Mr. Money Bags


I can order anything on the menu without a doubt

It is all because my kids moved out 

I walk in with my sunglasses and order a bagel

Then I walk with swag and go sit down at the table


I can't buy a rolex or a lamborghini

But I can get a latte and I can even buy a beanie

Starbucks Starbright first Starbucks I see tonight 

They see my confidence at first sight 


When the kids go back for their first semester

I will be living it up as an empty nester

I will nod my head again at the confused barista

Just add an extra shot and put it on my visa
