Young Albie has ambition to appease <br />And he doesn't see a future on clearing trees <br />He says I'll be a carpenter by trade <br />And be right up there with the highly paid. <br /> <br />Young Albie likes to keep his tongue at bay <br />He really does not have that much to say <br />He keeps his peace he doesn't give words away <br />And feel lucky if he say to you 'good day'. <br /> <br />Young Albie has a strong liking for beer <br />And he feels partial to his pot of cheer <br />And though I've never seen him drink it has been said <br />That he doesn't let the booze go to his head. <br /> <br />Young Albie he is sturdily built and strong <br />And I'd hate to be the one to do him wrong <br />For you don't rubbish person who is quiet <br />As he can do some damage when he fight. <br /> <br />Young Albie is the quietest man I know <br />And feel lucky if to you he say hello <br />But he has got ambition to appease <br />And he doesn't see a future on clearing trees.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/young-albie/
