Burying the Idea of Marriage

She has the idea buried 
Of later getting married,
As she shall be forty-five:
Very far from twenty five…

Her mirror has been talking;
Strong challenges from walking.
“When last was Monthly Bleeding?
Like Lot from Sodom fleeing!”

Marriage mainly child-bearing,
In Nigeria for child-rearing; 
Tears for declined proposals:
Fine Guys that faced disposals; 
Her rash rejection of Ben 
And harsh ejection of Ken… 

Unless she flies to US
 Nothing like last SOS!
