Extra Single

There is a reason why I am single And why for a relationship I don't mingle, Yes, I had relationships in the past And yes, they never did last. I am single because I wanted for once to be first I only wanted to quench my own thirst, And I wanted to do, what I wanted to do And not to ask anyone's permission, especially from you. In the past I was cheated on of course It broke my heart, so I sued for divorce But, then one truth about me was known I truly enjoy on being alone. I enjoy going to where I want to go And I enjoy going to watch my favorite show, And I enjoy going out to eat Never do I have to share my table or my seat. And I enjoy the way that I dress Never no one do I have to show up for or impress, And never do I get in an argument or a fight Just to prove that I am right. No birthdays or anniversaries do I have to remember Never no extra gifts do I have to buy in December, Never do I ever have to ask anyone about their day And never do I worry about my pay. I can go to sleep anytime that I want to go to bed To accidentally wake someone up there is no dread, And I can sleep as late that I want to sleep And I am never awakened by a single peep. Another fact unto which I can proudly vouch I have never been asked or told to sleep on the couch, Being single is indeed the greatest life As I still remember past relationships with worries and strife. A happy single man, yes I truly and sincerely am As they say I am as happy as a clam, Yes! I was happy and jubilant for being single before Now, I am happy and extra single more. Randy L. McClave
