Now I lay me down to sleep.
Please don't send me no more creeps.
Please just send me one good man.
One without a wedding band.
One good man who's sweet as pie.
Who brushed his teeth and doesn't lie.
Who dresses neat and doesn't smell.
And is sexy like my man Denzel.
Is super rich like Michael J.
On second thought, that's okay.
Man, if I should die before I wake,
that would truly take the cake:
No matrimony or honeymoon.
No fancy reception planned for June.
No throwing of the wedding bouquet.
Please, God, don't let me go out that way.
If I die before I meet Mr. Right,
I won't go out without a fight.
But then again, with my luck,
he'd probably be just some schmuck.
The single life is not that bad
I know it's just a passing fad.
I won't be blue.  I will not frown.
Besides, I like my toilet seat down.
No more makeup, won't comb my hair.
So, never mind this stupid prayer.
