Jack O The Wily One

His dinner had gone cold on his dinner plate And though she did scold him for coming home late He presented flowers he had bought on his way home from the pub to the love of his life The good man drunk or sober is nice to his wife He stopped off on his way home from work for a few beers at the pub And a chat with his mates of the local football club Aggressive men on coming home from the pub are known to beat their children and wives It is a known fact that latent anger on alcohol thrives But Jack o the wily one so full of guile Home from the pub soothes Linda's anger with flowers a hug and a smile Jack O has his feelings well under control Though alcohol not anger of his marriage may eventually take it's toll He does not beat his children or he does not beat his wife But Jack O he does have his vices in life.
