Being Alone
Being alone isn’t so bad
There are many reasons why you should be glad
Like not sharing a bed or putting up with snores
Or listening to them talk about football, which frankly just bores
The smell of their feet, or flactulance too
The way they leave the seat up on the loo
Or stealing your chocolate and wine.
But then there are the things you miss, like a hug and a kiss
Somebody to look after you
To dry your tears when you get upset
To love and care for you
Somebody to fix things when they break
To cook you a meal, however much mess they make
To make you laugh to make you smile
To make all the irritating things worthwhile
so which is best do you think
A lonely bed or putting up with the stink
Getting fat with all your chocolate to yourself
Or sharing them, which is better for your health
I think I know which I’d prefer
But the preference is yours to make.
