Acquaintance across the gender

As a bachelor of twenty,

I found my way to a village,

Where I fell for a pretty lass.

I made her father’s acquaintance

In order to get hers, and got it.

As a prime person of thirty,

I found my way to a premise,

Where I fell for a pleasant girl.

I made her brother’s acquaintance.

 As a grown up man of forty,

I found my way to a camp site,

Where I fell for a poised woman.

I sought her husband’s acquaintance

In order to make hers, and got it.

As a matured man of fifty,

I found my way to a new site,

Where I fell for a ripe lady.

I made her son’s acquaintance

In order to have hers, and got it.

As a seasoned man of sixty,

I made my way to my neigbourhood,

Where I fell for a charming girl.

I made her grandma’s acquaintance

In order to make hers, and got it.

Getting  a mere acquaintance

Of an opposite sex itself

Will work wonders in both live hearts

And enliven the lives they live

Without any expression of love.
