Message In An Acrostic Contest

I see into my future in this land
And there's great things for people of my type
Maybe I'll become an educated man
And scratch my nose, smoke me a Meerschaum pipe

Never know what future's in store for me
Only God knows, He holds it pretty tight
Lately I've been thinking 'bout what I'll be
Doubtless it will be something of great height

Maybe I'll take me a brunette to bed
And we'll have children, three or maybe four
No one knows, she could be a blonde instead
Nights will be blissful, I won't ask for more

Outside the box is where I should settle
"Way outside", said the pot to the kettle!
