Being A Bachelor

I was asked by a dear friend Do I have a girlfriend, I said, "no", "no", "none of course" Not since my last divorce. I need no woman in my life Whether it be a girlfriend or a wife, They cause so much pain and trouble Which is usually on the double. I don't need or want a woman who lies or does cheat Or one who is full of deceit, Who cannot and would not be honest and true And who wants to tell me what to do. I enjoy to travel the world To new adventures that are unfurled, I'm always happier traveling all alone Never to I ever moan. I need no woman at my side To help me to ever choose or to decide, Never do I need a woman's permission While I'm on my own life's mission. I don't travel by bus or by a car I travel by boat and plane that takes me far, And my final destination It's always a different culture or nation. I need no wife or girlfriend with me Beautiful women are also found across the sea, My soul will never be owned or sold So, that it can be manipulated or controlled. I now wake up everyday with a smile And never with pain or hurt or guile, I don't want that past pain anymore That's why I'm happy to be a bachelor. Randy L. McClave
