THE BACHELOR'S LAMENT by NAOMI REYNOLDS

First Line: I MIGHT HAVE MARRIED ONE OF THEM, BUT GRACE
Last Line: MADE FUN OF BIRTHDAY CAKES AND CHRISTMAS TREES.
Subject(s): SINGLE PEOPLE; BACHELORS; UNMARRIED PEOPLE;

I might have married one of them, but Grace
Used too much powder; Mildred hated hikes,
And Ruth "just loved" them. Little Genevieve
Thot I had no religion; strange, for Clare
Was sure I had too much. The glorious Clem
Made fun of birthday cakes and Christmas trees.
