Men in Ratios v3.

The wedded men are nine-four-three,


Get so much endearment all for free,
Fruits of labour, without climbing a tree,
They skim the cream, so clean the scree.

The single men are just forty-three


Rule the world, but not a moment free,
Own the jungle, but not a family tree
Can't share the cream, the wealth is scree.

The rest are written as one and four,


In wearing both hats, do they easily score,
Straddle two worlds, and then some more
Hidden in the closet, don't come to the fore.
