You

After the war Came another battle So where were you When I was born And where were you When I stumbled and walked And where were you When I stuttered and spoke And where were you When I started school And where were you When I passed my exams And where were you When I graduated The answers never changed It was always prearranged You were always in the pub I wasn't even a sub You always chose drink As an alternative to me So maybe this poem Will stop and make you think About the events you missed And all the times You could have been loved and kissed Instead of being a sad pub dad.
