btw I've been married 4 times, created a child (with a little help from wife # 1) and my wife has pigs (no cows) . We buy milk.

My goodness aka 'My god', my poem comment managed to show up on this poem page within minutes of my submitting it. Sometimes it helps to have 'the devil' as a friend. bri ;)

***** five stars It sounds to me like the poet is finding fault with bachelors who buy their milk AND 'buy' a sexual partner. To each their own I say. Look out Hell, here I come. ;)) bri

Marvelous poem as The Classic Poem Of The Day.5 Stars!

and the societal expectation of love and companionship forms the heart of the poem.

The primary theme is about the loneliness and isolation experienced by a man who has deliberately chosen to remain unmarried. The innermost thoughts and feelings of this bachelor, who has never tasted the joys of marital life.The contrast between his self-imposed solitude

The responses of a man who detests commitment. Beautiful poem

An interesting creation drafted with insight.

'Of course, if you are less than man You can't do what we can.' - Loved these lines. Marriage and parenting are the normal courses in a human life cycle.

Better or worse, human fate faces everything. A bachelor should learn the art of patience and tolerance. Then only victory will come in life. This poem is nice. A perfect poem of the day is chosen.

A nice poem to remain bachelor.

Beautiful stuff. Me too. I hope the devil put him in a furnace without maids

I told him: ''Tis our human fate, For better or for worse, That man and maid should love and mate, And little children nurse. Of course, if you are less than man You can't do what we can........./// superb and interesting expression

A Bachelor! ! ! Only to enjoy the taste of life! ! ! Not ready for marriage. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

A dialogue with a man who wants to stay single, not get married or have children. Why not?

Chuckle...I've enjoyed Service's poems in past years, but had not found this; .....May he continue to be appreciated.
