Spinsters
I never had the slightest notion
Why spinsters were so harried
Or why they caused so much commotion
Remaining so unmarried
When a gent a bachelor remains
He is rarely the butt of a frown
If from marrying he abstains
He's seen as a man about town
If a lass wants to live alone
It's not for us to say
Or make her feel she must atone
For choosing her own way
Some people make the inference
Their values are for all
Never accepting difference
They act so dog-gone small
A more congenial world to live in
Creating less despair
Wouldn't be so bigotry driven
With judgements so unfair
It surely is unkind
Poking fun at spinster's lives
With reason you might find
Spinsters wiser then most wives
