ELI BARCHE


Enough of your “Brother”!

You offspring of my peers

I’m fed full through my ears

I now can not but bother


To watch the world pass by?

Expecting a lass to tie?

A thousand and one is gone

But none of them is done


The one that’s fair to hold

Has not the virtue of old

The virtuous that filtered in

Are fair only within


“The fair-within” they say

I fear the fair-without

May take over someday

As aesthetic venom sprout


I hate to make a choice

Give the magic wand

The cartilaginous band

To forge a Siamese choice


Eligible to choose!

From many unwanted goose

With opened or closed eyes made

A choice is still a choice.

Eligible Bachelors can only be as eligible as the society sees them. After some time, it becomes an abnormality. So it is better to make hay while the sun shines. Marry before children of their peers will start calling them brother, instead of daddy.
