Being Single Has Its Perks

I was a good wife that kept a spotless house, And cooked good food each day for my dear spouse. When he mowed the lawn in the summer heat, I would bring him a cool drink, just to be sweet. After thirty years we have parted ways. Now I have a new trail in which to blaze. I’m finding out that being single has its perks. I’m in charge now, and that’s how it works! I don’t have to clean the house if I’m not inclined, Or cook every day, working off my behind! I can go out to dinner whenever I choose. I don’t have to watch a man on the couch snooze! I can run around the house naked as a jaybird, And go without makeup, which in the heat is preferred. Yes, the single life has given me a taste of freedom. My new motto in life is “love ‘em and leave ‘em.” 6/15/17
