I Am Unmarried Edited

Parody of : Im nobody! Who are you? by Emily Dickinson Original Poem I'm nobody! Who are you? Are you nobody, too? Then there's a pair of us -- don't tell! They'd advertise -- you know! How dreary to be somebody! How public like a frog To tell one's name the livelong day To an admiring bog! ______________________________________ I'm unmarried! Who are you? Are you unmarried, too? Then there's a pair of us -- don't tell! They'd force us-- you know! How dreary to be married To spend money on family To be responsible livelong day Let's live for self and enjoy!

I absolutely love your parody, Rama! ... And you've also hit on my all-time favorite poet, Emily D! A 'double-header' for me. Thanks for the treat! H.N.Y! ~ Gershon
