Never Too Late

6 Male 3 Female
This hit is about a married man in his fifties who suddenly learns he's becoming a father again. His last child, a girl, was born 24 years ago and, considering the boob she married, he finds the prospect of another unthinkable
His daughter and son in law live with him; she gets up for breakfast at lunchtime and he is curiously addicted to solitaire. It's not only the impending birth that startles him; his previously meek little wife begins to lay down the law
There's to be a nursery, a new bath, and she's to have her own checking account. Such dour capitulation you'll never see again
