Perhaps today's the day
to set things right,
to make my bed,
before tonight,
to wash the dishes;
launder my shirt;
to find a duster,
clean up the dirt;
take out the papers;
pull up some weeds;
do all those things
a 'home beautiful' needs.
But why should I alter
my 'live-alone' ways?
I've clean dishes and clothes
for a few more days.
Why should I worry,
get my mind in a stew,
when there are so many things
I'd much rather do?

My brother's very much like this, he goes, why should I have to go get a girlfriend?

very interesting precisely why should you worry? Being alone isn't anything to be ashamed about. This is a good choice for winning.

This makes me smile. I've gone through that dilemma a few times - "to clean or not to clean". Doesn't sound like it's a problem for you!
I like your rhymes and flow. Thank you for entering.
