His kids disappoint him,
he’s pissed off at life.
He screams at the news,
and yells at his wife.
He punched a neighbor’s son,
who looked at him wrong.
Then tripped an old woman
for singing a song.
He doesn’t see room to change,
nor observes many waivers.
He suffers and mocks,
often times just quavers.
Just stay out of his way,
or risk a black eye.
Because this sad dude
is one angry guy.
