The Spinster

She liked to dip her toes in the water To check out the temperature But other girls would dive right in And take the man away from her She liked to drive slow and steady Avoiding the highway speeds But by the time she reached her destination Someone else had fulfilled his needs Cautiously, she lived her life Cautiously, she approached a love Cautiously, she lives alone Still a pure and white little dove Time is cruel to even pretty girls Men don’t wait to buy the cow She pretends to be the happy spinster She has no other options now
