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!
