An Ode To Childless Spinsters
A dinky one for a change ---
An Ode to Childless Spinsters
Unable to change how I’ve lived in the past…not having married – no kids…
And paying the prices for my “should-have - but didn’ts”…along with my
“shouldn’t have - but dids”,
I sit here bewildered, and rather disheartened, by what seems in store for my life,
Knowing that virtually all of my friends, that have neither been mother, nor wife,
Far more than not have regretted their choosing to neither have kids, nor to wed,
And weep at the prospect of nobody crying for being informed when they're dead.
