A Wayward Life

Born out of wedlock,
with a chip on his shoulder,
one that was as big,
as a cliff face, boulder. From the age of seven
he was in constant trouble.
Then as he grew up,
His parents worries,
were set to double.
Police at the door,
both night and day
and sometimes they came,
and took the lad away.
Drink and drugs,
were always on the card
of this teenage lad,
who's parents worked hard.
Up in front of the Beak!
and sentenced to a year,
this wayward lad,
showed no remorse or fear.
So on he went, with a record
one that was now at hand,
spending more time than ever,
locked up, in the 'Hotel Grand!
At the age of forty,
and still no life sorted.
Wife and family,
now totally aborted.
