A True Gentleman

Tired of his boring existence and tired of his ever nagging wife And tired of his job and the workplace and generally tired of life He wakes at 5 A M from monday to friday to go off to work for the day Nothing in life for him easy he works hard for every pay. Tired of his demanding children a boy of eight and a girl of ten It can be truly said of him that he's not the happiest of men He goes home tired every evening but rest at home he cannot find His nagging wife and screaming children are driving him out of his mind. Tired of being taken for granted though the sole bread winner of the house Lowest in the pecking order ruled by his children and spouse Some might say that is his own fault but he is not rough in any way Men like him who are quite gentle never get to have their say. He does not have anger in him he's good at bottling up stress And though his personal problems seem many he manages to smile nonetheless When his youngest becomes self dependent he plans to start a new life elsewhere Till then he feels bound by duty people like him are so rare. A true gentleman he is surely his type are hard to be found Bound by his duty to family not many like him around Yet he is taken for granted by his children and his spouse And though he is the family bread winner he is not the boss in his house.
