Settling Down Poem by Randy McClave

If you my friend are tired of the single life,
And you want to settle down with a wife,
A piece of advice to you that I must give,
Think before you marry, and live.

Eat the foods that you want to eat
The cheeses the breads the sweets and the meat
Then drink the liquors and beers that you want to drink
And make sure to all the women, you give them a wink.

Go to bed any hour of your day
Wake up when you want, or sleep longer in the hay
Spend your money the way that you want it spent
Buy everything you want, and spend your very last cent.

Wear the clothes that you want to wear
Grow your beard or mustache, as it is your hair
Go hunting or fishing or just go out with a friend
Laugh and joke loudly as those days are coming to an end

So please take a heed to this sound advice
Don't think once about it, think about it twice
As I too was once a single man
Then I got married, and my new life had just began

Now if you still feel like you need to settle down
You now must be organized with your feet firmly on the ground
Your adventures and excitement are now out of your life
Now it is time for you my friend; settle down to a wife.
