The man in the gutter is a lucky man. There is always someone worse off.
He was lying in a gutter With just a bottle of booze Some matches and a blanket He has, nothing more to loose Once a doting father A beautiful loving wife A productive member of society A healthy active life Laid off at Christmas Corporate cheer was rife! No presents for the kids Living on a knife Soon the arguments started Life was now despair Kids became more distant His wife had an affair He wouldn’t shave And didn’t care How he looked or smelled A downward spiral perpetuates Rock bottoms Where he dwells He doesn’t look for pity For there’s none He concedes A bottle, matches and a blanket What more dose he need?
