I am not a bachelor

I am not a bachelor
But I married a spinster,
So I don't go 'outing' or 'dating'.
I married a soldier
Every time she is at the barracks;
Saluting,escorting, and parading,
So I cook for her her special food.
I even fetches water for her.
Sometimes she is at the war front fighting for this great nation,
Beheading the reckless men who claim to be the enemies of this nation,
So I sweep and mob her room.
I even prepare a bed for her.
When she return,
She will be busy getting her awards of captainship, may be a General of the army,
And I will be in the garden weeding and harvesting for her.
I am not a chef,
But I married the president,
So every time she is busy with matters of the state.
And I have to keep the kitchen warm for her.
I married a lawyer,
So every time she is busy passing death sentence over the reckless youth of this great nation,
So I have to be submissive and wash her clothes when she returns.
I am not too religious,
 but I married a parliamentarian,
Every time she is at the parliament making law,
So I have to live like a Christian and abstain.
I am not a baby-seater,
But I married a doctor,
Every time she is at the hospital saving the life of the children,
Mothers, and fathers of this great nation,
So I have to take care of my children.
I am not a Houseboy!
But I married a nurse,
Every time she is at the hospital 'care taking' the sick people in the hospital, So I have to take care of my domestic work .
So I married people's wife.
