A Bar Singer

A bar singer asked for a request But all he got was "give it a rest" He said "I know that song" "Please all do sing along" In that moment he felt truly blessed. He started to sing and he got jeered His eyes then filled up in floods of tears So he ran out the door Was not seen any more Till he returned much older by years. Customers in the bar sat and stared His singing's out of tune they declared They all went from the room Left the singer in gloom His ego was severely impaired. He said to himself, “that’s it, no more” I’ll ask if I can just sweep the floor The manager said “yes” You can clean up the mess But don’t sing when doing your chores.
