The Good, Bad, and Ugly Samaritan
Once, a man was the personification of down and dirty
He lived the life of a hellion well into his thirties
He drank all day and he drank all night
He lied, cheated, and stole while extinguishing his light
This man was as ugly as hell and always had a sneer
The worst of ne'erdowells was actually full of fear
He went through a constant cycle of failing and running
For he couldn't face the truth that his flailing was stunning
On what felt like the worst day of his existence
He received the most potent and lovely assistance
He was finally told "no" and forced to hit the bottom
He finally realized everything had caught up with him
