Ollis' poem
by Maggie
Ollis as
he sits with a bottle and ponders life in general...:
When a man gets married, he wants a good life,
all I get is crap, (swig) and a mouse for a wife.
I thought that when she gave me a son,
my life might get better, but those dreams were undone. (swig)
She gives me a lad who is puny and weak,
And he keeps his hair long, like a girl! Like a freak!
(swig) I wanted Lexi different, treat him mean so he's tough,
but no matter what I does, it's not good enough. (swig)
So I get good and drunk, and I smacks them around!
It makes me feel better when they look up from the ground.
But then that damned mouse of a wife that I got
Takes the lad and they runs, (swig) like they wouldn't get caught.
But I'll finds them I will, and then when I do,
I'll make them both pay for what they put me through.
I'll make you pay, Morna, there'll be no one to save
you or my son, from a well deserved grave.
