He Seems Out Of Place Poem by Francis Duggan

He seems out of place where the laughter is loud
There is always one lonely one in a crowd
Those who know him for years say life he never did enjoy
That he seldom did smile even as a boy
He is nicknamed 'Ed Sad Face' since Ed is his name
One who never has designs on wealth and on fame
He did have a girl friend a few years ago
Who left him when she fell in love with a fellow named Joe
Though by all accounts his affair with her was brief
Some say his leaving her to him came as a sense of relief
He does not have friends one who lives on his own
A natural loner by many not known
Yet his neighbour poor Sue have only good of him to say
He helps her out of kindness without asking for pay.
