I Met a Man

A man came up to me at the train station and said
"I just got out of jail"
I asked "What did you do to end up in jail"
He replied "My Girlfriend narked on me"

"Why did she nark" I enquired 
"I got into selling drug's and brought a gun,
"She found the gun and phoned the police"
"Perhaps she was afraid" I stated 

"I shoud have a go at her" he said
"perhaps you should try another job,
"think about it, in sale's you can make thousands
'in sales you could sell a house"

"Allow yourself to dream"
"You could become a fashion designer"
"you could become a football coach"
"you could become a nurse"

"A sales man I know took his wife
around the world eight times
a football coach dosen't have to worry
about his girlfriend finding guns"
