Big Joe

Big Joe in the pub with his mates always talking football As if noting else in life does matter at all Last year his twenty five years of marriage to Jill ended their only offspring Jim He has not seen for three years since he lives far from him Though Jill for awhile loved Joe of him she grew bored Because he loved beer and football and in bed he snored And little in common with her he did share Suppose marriage of soulmates has always been rare For twenty five years his devoted wife And now she does have a new man in her life But since in his ways far apart from her he had grown Jim now feels quite happy living on his own For the past seven months he's been having an affair With divorcee Maud in her early fifties gray in her brown hair On Friday and Saturday he sleeps with her after drinks in the pub They share much in common since they barrack for the same football club In his fifties with receding gray hair his best days long gone But big Joe feels happy he keeps on keeping on He has beer and football and his lover Jill And of alcohol she too like him drinks her fill.
