The Unpredictable Character

Just as every tale begins “once upon a time”
His life began the same with an unpredictable character
Where he learnt it from can’t be told, because he was cold
Disappointment was his first name
Anytime he was told about his unreliable character
He behaved like a maniac
He laughed with people but later went round to stab them in the dark
He did not give but always wanted to receive
Everyone was exasperated because of his behavior
Because of his hostility, he became a hustler
It was very difficult for him to preserve his human dignity
His life of hostility culminated in disaster
Just as every tale ends “happily ever after”
His life ended with sorrows and regrets
