In Search For a Wife

He had searched the land to find him a wife
but all he could find was trouble and strife
ladies they came and soon they had left
his search for a wife had left him bereft
so he took his search to lands overseas
got carried away in the salt air and breeze
found a land where the ladies were oh so nice
where everyone lived on salt fish and rice
his search was now over and sure he was glad
for instead of just one love-he had found love twice
he sat on the beach eating salt fish and rice
and thought to himself- wow this life is nice.
