Kate The Spinster

She has outlived all of her class mates she is ninety stooped and gray
And she has never lived out of her hometown never even for a day
Always happy in her homeplace never yearned for far away
All of her school friends left their hometown Kate the one who chose to stay.

Kate the spinster never married and always led a single life
Never ever knew the pleasures of a mother and a wife
And the man she loved he left town over sixty years ago
He went with his secret lover to where few if any know.

But if you think that I paint the picture of a sad case then surely you have got it wrong
For Kate she may seem old and fragile but at heart she is young and strong
At birthday parties for the aged she is always the M.C.
She sing songs and tell jokes and stories and she is happy and carefree.

I've always thought that aged spinsters were reserved and rather shy
But Kate has changed my way of thinking with her warm and friendly hi
She is never out of form and I've never seen her sour and rude
She is such a happy person always in a happy mood.

Kate the spinster young forever she feels young beyond her years
In her heart there's room for laughter but no room for regrets and tears
She may look old and stooped and fragile and her hair is silver gray
But she feels happy and contented and she makes the most of every day.
