Necessary Burned Bridges

You never know where you'll end up
When you veer from your up bringing
Back home they might sing some praises
He knows it's not his, they're singing

Staying with his brother ended
At the time to him it seemed rude
When he had some gal in the pool
Just because they were drunk and nude!

He had to leave town for a beer
With whoever had gas in their cars
Since him and his drinking buddies 
Were banned from all the local bars

Things now have changed for the better
With a good woman by his side
Look at this, pappy is happy
In spite of a rough, rocky rise!

Aw, glad you're happy - a good woman, they say, brings out your best - have a lovely day!

Thank you Michelle!! My efforts sometimes don't come out so funny but I like to try new things once in a while!

I think probably there are more times when people just can't change and die young or miss so much. I'm more of a happy ending sort of guy. Sometimes I feel inspired to get away from the comedy a bit. Thank you for commenting anyway!
