Another Man Poem by Francis Duggan

He tries to make some meaning out of his life
Another man is making love to his ex wife
And that other man for his young son and daughter provide
Which has left him with quite a big dent to his pride.

Another man to his children playing the father role
The very thought of it on his ego taking toll
Though biologically a father he doesn't play the role of a dad
That's life one supposes and life can be sad.

He has a few friends but his dog his best mate
After work in the evening he is at the gate
To welcome him home as he wags his brown tail
Whilst others forsake you your dog you won't fail.

Another man making love to his ex spouse
And only his brown kelpie dog with him sharing his house,
Another man to his children the role of father play
About that he's not happy but that's life one might say.
