Ode to a Singles' Club

 

Ah, Ski Club

Here I come!

 

To indulge myself

In adventures of

                "Singles Life"

 

To escape from

The miseries of

Living life singly.

 

The parties, and going from

One great adventure

To another

 

They keep the mind busy

With flirting and

Wild fantasy

 

So I may sleep

Through my long

Single nights.

 

A touch of humanity

That is what

We all need

 

To keep us

In touch with

How each other feels.

 

Give us the good life!

 

Ah!  Bring on the wine!

 

We laugh and are merry

Well----at least

Once a week

 

Till the party's all over

And it's time

We must sleep.

 

My Ski Club,

Oh Ski Club,

How I depend on you

 

For those hours----

Those lonely single hours

You fill so happily

 

With lines from another's

"Singles' Life Book"

 

Written by one

Who'd gladly say,

"I used to know."
