In his early thirties the single bloke Joe <br />He seems to be trapped in his cocoon of woe <br />He always has such a sad look on his face <br />For laughter in his heart there is not any space <br />Since his ex lover Sue left him a few years ago <br />Apart from the World he has seemed to grow <br />He does not have a friend he does not have a foe <br />A sad person others do not wish to know <br />The love of his life was the raven haired Sue <br />But sad for him to him she did not stay true <br />Yet he's still a young man just out of his prime <br />And lost love's great healer is old father time <br />A down to earth fellow untainted by guile <br />But for him life would be better if he knew how to smile.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-single-bloke-joe/
