If no one ever marries me,
and I don't see why they should,
for nurse says I'm not pretty
and I'm seldom very good
If no one ever marries me
I shan't mind very much.
I shall buy a squirrel in a cage
and a little rabbit-hutch.
I shall have a cottage near a wood
and a pony all my own
and a little lamb quite clean and tame
that I can take to town.
And when I'm getting really old
at twenty-eight or -nine,
I shall buy a little orphan-girl
and bring her up as mine.
- Natalie Merchant, "If No One Ever Marries Me"
