Just An Ordinary Fellow

His life revolves around work his mates and football But his wife and children he seldom does talk of at all Each evening after work he calls to the pub Or else to the bar-room of the Football Club. In his early to mid thirties he is well liked in the town To have kicked five goals in the local Grand Final is his one claim to renown And though his team did not win the flag he earned his local fame With a best on ground display on a beaten side he made for himself a name. His wife takes care of the children a boy of four and a girl of three She is not well known in the town few as down to earth as she So different from her husband she's never seen at the pub And she is not a member of any local club. He is a well liked character and in the town well known And the local people say of him he is one of our own Not a bad husband and father though better than him not hard to find Just an ordinary fellow in his own way he is kind.
