Why Am I Still Single Poem by Randy McClave

Why am I single, someone once asked
Why am I not in a relationship to last,
Then as I began to wonder
Then about myself I then began to ponder.
As I then began to think
On a positive note I don't smoke and I don't drink,
I don't swear and I never do curse
And 2 times a week I go to church.
I don't hit or abuse a woman in any format
Both my parents taught me better than that,
To abuse anyone mentally or physically I never did and I never will
I would rather help and heal.
With my bills or with my money I have no problems on tension
As I receive a very good pension,
I own my house and my property here In Ashland
Plus, I own property over there in Scotland.
I never drink, so I never get drunk
And I never take drugs or get high as a punk,
I enjoy going out to the movies and our to eat
And of course happily it's always at my treat.
I try to stay in shape the best that I can
I have already ate and exercised and then I ran,
And never do I chew tobacco or smoke cigarettes
All they bring is sickness and later regrets.
I am better than no one and no one is better than me
Everyone is my equal as I do see,
I am not and I have never been a racist or a bigot
As we all drink water from the very same glass or spigot.
I judge no one, and I hate no one
And I am not a cheater or a liar or a con,
And when my help is ever needed I promise that will be there
I will always give my full soul with all my care.
I enjoy dining out and going to the movies or to a show
And I always want my experience and my intellect to grow,
I do not like to argue or to ever fight
I though enjoy to walk and hike and read and write.
The women that I have met are of a different type
About everything they like or enjoy to gripe,
They like being with men who are abusive and who treat them bad
That seemingly makes them very happy and glad.
I am indeed a very good guy
And that is how I will be remembered until the day I die,
I'll always remember where I had walked and where I have been
I guess, I just meet the wrong type of women.
