My
      father was a wise man
      
      
      he
      had the gift of the gab.
      
      
      He
      would often by things from people
      
      
      with
      money he never had.
      
      
      He
      always dressed in smart clothes,
      
      
      he’d
      wear Appleby boots.
      
      
      
      
      He
      would even clean them
      
      
      whilst
      wearing his best suits.
      
      
      He
      was a general dealer
      
      
      he’d
      buy, he’d also sell.
      
      
      
      
      There’s
      lots more to his story
      
      
      that I wish not to tell.

      I
      fell in love with a pit bull,
      
      
      strong
      in head, but soft in heart.
      
      
      Always
      glad to see me,
      
      
      but with a flip of a coin she’d rip me apart.
