"Undecided" So... she posed this question to me like.... When are you gonna get married? As a man who claims to be fearless The thought of settling down kinda scares me Because that would mean sharing my heart And all the possessions that I own No more partying with the fellas Because at home is where I belong Adjusting to life with one woman No more broads chasing after you To be quite honest Part of me believes that monogamy isn't natural But being 60 years old still trying to club isn't practical So what's a young man like me to do? Don't get it twisted I never had a problem being faithful Although temptation is a dish that is very tasteful It's just that forever is a long time And showing love and affection Doesn't come natural to me like my ability to rhyme If I ever do fall in love I want the passion to be old school Like Marvin Gaye's "I Want You" Until then we'll see When it comes to relationships I'll let destiny decide whose my bride to be So... to answer her question My reply isn't yes, no, or maybe so It's if time could be bought I'd buy it Because with all the failing relationships I see Right now.... I'm undecided. |

Yes, you tell it like it is for you but perhaps being undecided shouldn't be based on other peoples failing or failed relationships. When a relationship/marriage is right for you, you'll know it but that knowing could be contaminated by what you see around you. We perhaps owe it to ourselves not to let that happen. Excuse the "soap box" but it's Sunday night in my neck of the woods. That's my excuse.  Helen |

I like the way this one rambles around the neighborhood to come back where it started, so it can start all over again. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |
