Jock

As gray as a badger old Jock the Scottish bloke From gambling and drinking he often is broke One of the most likable people in his side of the town He manages to smile even when financially down His wife left him and took with him their baby son this is going back in time When Jock was in his mid twenties and in his physical prime Because of his addiction to drinking and gambling with him she did not stay He does not have a clue where they might be today Though in his late seventies his addiction to gambling and drink with him remain His love for alcohol and gambling seems beyond him to explain I do not always lose he says with a grin Sometimes a horse i back at long odds to my joy does win But gambling and drinking has cost him in life His nearest and dearest his son and ex wife.
