When I was single I used to be afraid No one would ever wed me and I'd die a sour old maid Now I am married and (I'll send me down to weep?) 'Cause my husband chews tobacco and he snores in his sleep Oh Lord, I wish I was a single girl again Lord, I wish I was a single girl again When I was single I had fellas by the score Now that I am married, well they don't come 'round no more Now I am married and my husband's such a prude He made me sew buttons on his flannel undersuits Oh Lord, I wish I was a single girl again Lord, I wish I was a single girl again When I was single, he always came to court He used to bring me flowers and he always was a sport Now I am married and well, what do you think He bought me an apron and he showed me to the sink? Oh Lord, I wish I was a single girl again Lord, I wish I was a single girl again When I was single, I was jealous as a shrew Of women and their babies, 'cause I wished I had one too Now I have a baby. She's as sweet as any rose But aint it aggrivatin' when you have to wipe her nose Oh Lord, I wish I was a single girl again Lord, I wish I was a single girl again
A Touching Poem Dear Induslady, Somehow I had missed this post because it was on page 2 of 'Good To Read' Forum which I saw only today. The poem is very touching. Poetry is at is best when it hints about the dull pains and the soft sufferings of the mind. When you write a touching poem about a gruesome accident where somebody had died, it won't be that powerful. Even in this poem if you had described about a sadistic husband it would not have had the same impact. When the poem talks about snoring, and the husband giving an apron (when the wife is expecting a flower) they have a tremendous impact. Keep writing, Induslady. Even this poem you can dwell further and add more and more stanzas. Keep up the goodwork. love, varalotti, sridhar
Hello Varalotti, Thanks for your message. However, I am not the original writer of the poem . I got to listen to this song one day in the FM radio in my car when I was driving. This song moved me a lot for it is about the kind of dreams girls have about their marriage; It is so upsetting even with smaller things that happen later in the married life that are far off their dreams. So I searched for the lyrics of the song on the web and posted it here thinking that many ladies like me would enjoy!
Dear Induslady Wow.......U simply did a great job.I am a new member and enjoying the site a lot.This poem is showing the true fate of a girl.I wish it should happen with the men lol raka
Dear Induslady, You have captured what many married women secretly think. Just enforces my belief in the old saying: Marriage is like a fort under siege. The ones inside want to get out & the ones outside want to get in.. Regards, Corallux
great malathy, dream of another day yes no rewind button but yes rewind or forward for the dream, y not regards sunkan
Dear Induslady, Just read this beautiful and great article which you have forwarded to all married ladies ..........thanks for sharing............:cheers Shanti
