Miss Picky

In her younger years no man for her good enough Some not handsome looking and some a bit rough Some not well educated and lacking in a degree She was rather picky as the very word can be Some were short of money some too fond of booze Any of them would not fit the man she would choose To father her children and live with them as wife They did not live up to her standards in life She turned down offers of marriage to Andy and Johnny and Fred Any of them not the type that she would like to wed The reason that she is an old maid today And even aging men nowadays seldom look her way In her early sixties her best years long gone And life all around her as usual goes on.
