Ratbag Jack

Ratbag Jack came home again tonight .

He started laying in to me
- He's insane .
Then he tried to climb up the stairs but he fell back down again .
God knows he's a pain .

Then in the morning he says that he'll never do it again .
It's always the same .


Living with Ratbag Jack is one attack after another .
I feel I'm to blame .
I called the cops up once ,
Mum did too ,
but they never came and Jack came home again .

Mum got thrashed again and ended up in hospital ,
Ratbag Jack got drunk again .

The kids at school ask about my Dad ,
I say he's ok because I'm too ashamed .

I can't tell them of Ratbag Jack .
I'd be afraid that they'd call me a stupid name .

Wow, this is intense-it is good you gave a voice to the voiceless.

I don't know why I like this poem...But I really do...Maybe its the name Ratbag Jack that brings it to life
