My Life In a Nutshell

In my youth I was wild Crazy is a term best used I was a hunter of the female sex And the laws of the land I abused I was a musician and singer A talent I used brilliantly Serenading the female sex They liked singers and they liked me What fun it was to sing my songs And listen to the applause Although it was just a step up To my deceitful cause Several times I was engaged But all of them fell through I introduced my first fiance To fiance number two That’s the way it was with me I didn’t have a care Life was just a play thing And death I didn’t fear Then one day it happened The one who would change my life She captured me with such ease I knew she would be my wife She changed me in so many ways I cared none in the least I was ready to settle down We’d be Beauty and the beast. So here I am with a wife and three kids And thirty-four years later Two son-in-laws and eight grand-kids And life keeps getting greater
