A Good Man

Looks after his family and treasure's his wife.
Does not let his parents struggle in later life.
Does not cause others trouble and strife.
Makes every day the time of his  life.

Try's his very best never to grow up .
Go's to the football and a pint with the lads.
See's a yellow traffic light and speed's up.
Spends a day at the races with the other lads and the dads.

Compassion runs through him like others blood.
A need to help others if and when he could.
Maintain peace and nurture brotherhood.
Be a good son, brother  and excel at parenthood.

And try  to live your life by these  golden rules.
Treasure your family as if they where gold
And your friends as if they where precious jewels
And never vote Tory  or make war .
