Personal Preference Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

Prudence acted prudently.
She valued her virginity,
Unlike her fellow student Pearl
who chose to be a party girl.

Prudence was prepared to wait
until she changed her single state
She much preferred matrimony
Although her friend did not agree.

Pearl was convinced life should be fun
Had no regrets for what she’d done
In fact believed her way of life
would make her a much better wife.

When she was ready to get wed.
At least when asked that’s what she said.
Which one was right I do not know
that’s something only time will show.

Prudence chose to remain chaste.
Pearl thought celibacy a waste.
Both could be right quite possibly
What right have I to disagree.
