Being Alone

Being alone isn’t so bad 
There are many reasons why you should be glad 
Like not sharing a bed or putting up with snores
Or listening to them talk about football, which frankly just bores
The smell of their feet, or flactulance too
The way they leave the seat up on the loo
Or stealing your chocolate and wine.
But then there are the things you miss, like a hug and a kiss
Somebody to look after you
To dry your tears when you get upset 
To love and care for you 
Somebody to fix things when they break 
To cook you a meal, however much mess they make 
To make you laugh to make you smile
To make all the irritating things worthwhile 
so  which is best do you think
A lonely bed or putting up with the stink 
Getting fat with all your chocolate to yourself 
Or sharing them, which is better for your health
I think I know which I’d prefer 
But the preference is yours to make.
