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
