three well-fed bachelors in the home had women fighting over them
I am kind of sweet on Clementine, said the eldest elderly, Jim.
She’s got a crush on Hank, replied the trouble maker Leland Joe.
Clementine came over to them and gave Leland a cookie on the go.
Seems to me she likes you too, Jim said, staring at Leland now.
Maybe because I keep on hand her favorite milk, from my milking cow.
You still have a farm? This surprised the other bachelors quite a bit.
Hank kept his thoughts to himself, but he did not like thinking of it.
Hank did not have to worry long, for Gladys came by next.
She handed him an apple coffee cake that had tasty icing specs
Come join me for some breakfast she offered, and all three men complied.
They had been wooed and pursued by women since being locked up inside
The eligible for a female partner
Between the highly placed and a gardener;
Thirty years a massively supported age,
As one still doesn’t seem a sage,
Who wants to a union solemnize
And the honorable fun and sex officially recognize.
Maximally forty five years for any male to stop being bloody single,
His voice, strength or money to start arranging a marriage jingle.
Often of few worries, a lot of liberties exercising
And to a lifestyle of softer morals compromising;
No fathered babies to be humoring with toys,
A decided diversion of attention to other joys…
No infant to on its behalf bulging envelopes release,
No reckless nor fastidious wife to scold with ease.
A time and again experimentation with women
Of a life largely swayed by bad omen:
What he ‘d been snatching from ***********,
With the promiscuous posing in careless photography
The same practices this married counterparts had dropped behind
In pursuit of the mature lifestyle of the Non blind.
Unmarried clays they are
dreaming to pair with humus
to fertilize fragile red soils
destined to become poor dust
for the joy of fauna and flora
to enhance earth’s burdens
Larry and Harry spend nights at a bar
Neither have a job or even a car
Drunken Larry burps freely
Harry gropes touchy/feely
That these two are unmarried is bizarre

Some scholars,
In shining colors,
Going Bachelors!
...No Vow
...........Not Now
The bachelor sits alone
eating his microwaved dinner
the commercials say they're tasty
but he begs to differ.
tonight, its pot roast and beans
for dessert, a lousy brownie
honestly, I wouldn't serve this to the jailbirds
locked up at county.
They're cheap and easy to fix
or so they say
comes complete with a sheet of plastic
encased in a collectible tin tray
the advertising is clever
using words like low fat and carb free
but can someone please explain
what is a vegetable medley?
The bachelor unhappy with the evening's cuisine
grabs a book and takes a pill
it's for insomnia
not the kind to give you a thrill
shortly, the words are running together
the pill is doing its job
in a few more years
its teeth in a glass
and no more corn on the cob
The bachelor accepts
that he's challenged in cooking
and frozen nutrition will have to suffice
but what he can't understand
is why it takes him a half an hour
to cook a bag of minute rice.
In village life,
There comes a life
that makes people mad,
and shame them alot.
In the family of one man,
There are seven guys,
un marriede at all,
although they eat and drink.
As funny as they are,
they sleep all the night
and dreaming every time.
Look at them,
really are funny!
And the elders nicknamed them,
a funny sweet name,
the santiagonians knows,
as the sheep knocked men,
and the ugandans calls them,
their local name ''abafirwa''.
The impotent they are,
they can't mind at all,
about the problems in the world!
only what they know,
it's just to eat and sleep.
When they get sick,
they start to cry,
and call the young girls,
to help them to cook.
Unfortunetely at all,
they force them love,
really like cocks.
Oh! what life is that,
full of pain, temptation and shame
in this sweet world.
The single life in the world,
almost it's hard,
and makes people cry,
stranded and mad.
I promise my father,
the wife of joy
that can help the world,
to live in peace and help my self,
to develop and enjoy the world.
