A Fable

She was a real nice lady, Bore a son named Rick, Had a daughter named Saddie. Her husband was a.....stick Yeah, his deals were shady, but he didn't give a lick. So after a time, He committed a crime. They sent him to the Big House Where he got deloused. His wife got despoused, And stays pretty soused. Now remember the son Rick? Well now..he don't give a lick, And Saddie...y'all remember Saddie? Well she too, turned a little shady. See, now they're turnin' out like their Dad, The only Dad example they ever had. So the moral is this. Be a good Dad and care for your son and ladies, cause if you don't you could all go to Hades!
