Laughing Billy Poem by Francis Duggan

Every time i do see Billy he has a big smile on his face
In his ways happy go lucky his gift of life he does embrace
He does not have a wife or children or a car to call his own
He will tell you he is lucky the hard life he has not known
The nickname of Laughing Billy does seem apt for him to me
When not smiling he is laughing one who always seems carefree
A dark haired man in his mid twenties of one night stands he has had more than a few
One might say that nights of passion to him are nothing new
Why should he wish to get married when for sex he does not pay
To many of his age he is different looks at life in a different way
He is the life of every party and he makes a new friend every day
He has made love to many beautiful women though with none of them he wishes for to stay
He always carries happiness with him and generously shares it around
His kind are a rare breed of people in large numbers they do not abound.
