A Sincere Wish For a Good Man

A SINCERE WISH FOR A GOOD MAN Easy to love Easy to bed This is the trap driving nice men to wed Easy to cry Easy to sob Then he'll be mangled Like corn on a cob Easy to spend Easy to lose This is the life That most fellows choose Just call a lawyer He’ll fix it for you Get rid of the woman Who snazzles the screw Pack up the kids-- Send them to mom-- Hope their new school Has no majors in bombs Find a new wife Any looker will do A paper doll woman Is easy for you Work and grow old It's usual to do Find someone to hold Never fret about ‘true’ But If you’re a man With an itch to break molds There lurks a companion To have and to hold Don’t look in a bar Or pick-up soiree Stay off of the sites featuring boobs of the day haunt musty books near old movie shows Find someone laughing Or blowing her nose a genuine character packs humor and wit When brains are a match other parts learn to fit
