Coming Home to Roost

It looks like I've got some chickens that are coming home to roost. Problem is, my chicken coop is already full. I asked Adair if he would take them.
"I'm full up too, Fred. Let's check with Rich."
Colonel Rich is USAF retired. Roamed the world in his military career, last served in Iraq, but came home to Birmingham to retire. He never made General but says he's overcome the nightmares.
"Sorry, guys," Rich tells us. "I made a vow that if I got out of Baghdad alive I'd never have chickens again."
So what am I going to do? Sometimes you can't run away anymore and it's time to face the music. When the going gets tough, the tough get going, to coin a phrase.
