Being One Poem by Randy McClave

Being single is the way you ought to be
That is, if you want to be totally free,
Spend your money you want, go where you want
And never hear, “I want, want, want”!
Never have any worries about staying up late
Or forgetting about any important date,
Always do what you want to do
Because you are one; and not two.
Eat the food that you want to eat
Meats or breads or any type of sweet,
Burp or belch no need for you to be quiet
Remember that you are one, you need not to diet.
No other people will you need to worry about
You can cry or curse or even shout,
Gamble or play poker with your friends whenever you can
And don't have to worry about a curfew or a ban,
No need to ever worry about someone else's dealings
And of course you need not to worry about others feelings,
Never have to worry about if someone is gone
As there are not two, you are just one.
Buy and wear the clothes that you want to wear
And if you like them who else needs to care,
Think twice before giving up the life of a bachelor
Where you are happy and independent and secure,
Only problems and worries you have are your own
All headaches and distractions are already known,
Watch the shows on your television that you want to watch
While drinking your beer and scratching your crotch,
No need ever to worry if you stay out all night
No need to make up excuses and no reason to fight,
Wake up late and go to bed past dawn
Do what you want, as you are free and one.
