If I'd just tried for them dinky singles I could've batted around .600.

When she cried the tears ran down her back,

'Cause she took her baths in a talcum can,

Arithmetic and values
One boundary hit in an over
Is more than equal to four singles
Scored in an over
And one six hit in an over
Is more than six singles
In an over, to peoples’ eyes.
Values clash with arithmetic.

Happy singles Valentine’s Day
Happy singles Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s day come once a year.
Do not feel disappointed if you single tonight
No gifts of chocolates or flowers
No special someone present
Go out have fun enjoy
Who know who will be around?
Tonight is the night
Take a look around but don’t be desperate
First come do not jump on the bike
We cannot know how deep if it falls again
Can you afford to make another mistake?
A little bit of flirting, A little bit of hugs,
And a little bits of kisses to be the beginning
Set in motion it harmless thing to begins
To enjoy this wonderful single Valentine’s Day
Hope the one we meet tonight will be the last.
The one we been waiting for such a long time.
The Love of our lives has begins
And Hope we will meet again another day,
To make this a memory night for rest of our lives
Happy singles Valentine’s Day
Big hugs and kisses to all sweet singles

Happy Now?
You had the best
But you gave her up
cause dependency might interrupt
Idealistic will so hard to please
Put your indecisive mind at ease
You broke the set
Now theres only singles
Theres no looking back
This time I mean it
Are you happy now?
How is it now?
Are you happy now?
Are you happy?
The uncertainty you had of me
Brought clouded shady company
The tenderness habitual
A seldom-fading ritual
You killed the pair
Now only one is breathing
Theres no looking back
This time I mean it
Chorus:
No more leaning on your sholder
I wont be there, no more bother
If you feel you just might want me
Thats too bad, Im not that easy
The contemplator all those years
Now you must adhere
To your new career of liberation
Youve been cast all by yourself
Youre free at last
You broke the set
Now theres only singles
Theres no looking back
This time I mean it
Chorus:
Youre by yourself,
All by yourself
You have no one else,
Youre by yourself

Marital Status: Single.
The generations of celluloid kids,
And Black and white hippy brats,
Produced multi color monitor tots,
Who in turn give birth to laptop lads,
We are the modern people,
Learn the life through the cable,
Earn and live is our motto, simple,
Tomorrow really exists in our bible,
Thirty percent of us still single,
Looking for a spouse who can twinkle,
To make our body and mind to be thrilled,
The way we get excited in window sill,
None excites us as we excite none,
available have no suitable person,
We are the happy singles, playing,
Games in online jungle, worrying,
Of the wrinkles once in a while,
Otherwise, contented with our smile,
Sometimes fake, sometimes real,
Generations of singles are, on the prowl.

Everyday Life
Everyday life,
Singles and married to nature's call;
But be the first to know and the first to learn,
For wisdom is only given to the wise.

Undivided Attention
I 'use' to wonder as a child,
Why there were so many elderly people...
Packed inside the church,
My mother made sure...
She would take my sister and I,
Faithfully on Sunday and choir rehearsals...
As children.
When I turned 60,
I realized...
I could talk to myself,
And not get a batted eye of attention...
From anyone!
That piece of the puzzle,
No longer remains a mystery.
Now I know for a fact...
What those who are elderly know.
God is the only 'One'...
To have ever given undivided attention.
Most in their youth take for granted!

I'm a bit of a nerd, I wouldn't mind working in a shop selling records, or having a radio show where I could play obscure singles.
Pairs skating and singles are two different things. Although some skaters have achieved this successfully, it is a very difficult transition. You're looking at double work.
