People said I was getting old
They said I had started developing wrinkles on my face
They even said my hair had started greying
That I was approaching menopause
That, I had to get married
I was reluctant too
Because I was getting set in my ways
I wasn’t about to be told what to do
How to do what to do
Reluctantly I conceded
And regretted it, almost immediately
For starters, my husband snores
He eats much too loudly
And belches even louder
The foregoing irritates me
Sets my teeth on edge
I wish I had’nt listened
To what the people said
The funny reasons
I wish I had dared them
Called their bluff
Then I wouldn’t be, in this waterloo
