Jack Reddy Poem by Francis Duggan

Jack Reddy does not judge all women on June his ex wife
Though his twenty years of marriage to her not the happiest time of his life
He says in women like men the good and not so good you will find
Not everyone is born to be caring and kind

They parted forever some five years ago
That he feels happier without her it sure does seem so
And that she since has remarried with him quite okay
Good luck to her in her life of her he does say

His son and daughter both married with children in a town far away
The last time he see them was early last May
He says on grumbling of your lot you have nothing to gain
In his life's sixty eight year one who never complain

Jack Reddy is one who will never marry again
For as long as he live as single he will remain
Of his twenty five years of marriage he has no happy stories to tell
He knows all about it life in living hell.
