If I Were A Weak Man Poem by Randy McClave

If I were a weak man,
I think I would have been a drinker,
I would have no worries of my own,
And I wouldn't have to be a thinker.
I would go to the pub constantly,
And there I would spend my pay,
I would have no worries to worry about,
As I would drink all of my worries away.
I would talk my nonsensical talk,
Never would I speak intellectual,
I would always blame my problems on others,
And my common sense would be ineffectual.

If I were a weak man,
On my knees to GOD I would pray,
I would ask him to take care of all of my worries,
While I would drink my life away.
I would buy all my friends a drink,
As we talk about sports and local events,
Then I would buy more drinks to feel better,
As I would spend all of my dollars and my cents.
I would escape all my worries with a drink,
All strength and confidence I would ban,
I would give up on all of my great expectations,
That is of course if I were a weak man.

If I were a weak man,
All temptations would be my master,
I would fall so easily into weakness,
And I wouldn't care if the outcome were a disaster.
My wants is all that I would care about,
I would lack in stability of mind and character of thought,
I would be foolish and lacking any judgement,
The weak way is the only way I would have sought.
I would be a thief and a liar and a cheater,
I never would turn over a new leaf or the other cheek,
If it’s the easy road I would always take it,
But, that is of course only if I were weak.
