The Price To Pay

How can a woman with beauty

Decide which man she will marry?

Her looks attracts so many men,

It is difficult choosing the right man.

 

Yet time seems to separate them,

And the lucky guy is left standing.

It is the I Do that seals their fate,

Married to the belle of the ball.

 

How can you not get annoyed,

As you walk down the street

And every guy gives your wife

The once over, from top to bottom.

A very keen observation. It is strange, but I have found beautiful women to be the most friendly, generous, and kind. Perhaps it is because they don't have to have any pretense to be attractive. They can focus on more important things.

My three brothers all married very attractive women. I don't recall them being annoyed at having other men give their wives so much attention. On the other hand, they are all divorced.

I take Bobby McFerrin's advice: "If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, get ugly woman to be your wife." "Don't worry… Be happy!"

She's mine, so they can look all they want. I'm guilty of looking at others to, but I'm hers and all I can do is run to the end of my chain and bark. It's only human, and ok to look, as long as you're just looking and not shopping.
