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!
