He doesn't play sports drink alcohol or take dope and you might say he doesn't fit in <br />And he doesn't lust after young women and he's not seen as a man amongst men <br />He works hard to provide for his family and he leads a good and a clean life <br />And he is a nice man to talk to and he is faithful to his wife. <br /> <br />He's not a religious type person and he doesn't attend church on sunday <br />And he too in some ways a sinner the religious zealots might say <br />And some see him as a social outsider but to live clean should not be a sin <br />And he deserve respect not scorn the fellow who doesn't fit in. <br /> <br />He doesn't watch football on the t.v. or support any football team <br />And he's not part of any social club nor does he crave social esteem <br />Yet he has his many detractors in life it is so hard to win <br />And his type of man getting rarer the fellow who doesn't fit in. <br /> <br />He doesn't play cricket or football with his children as many a young father do <br />On sundays with his wife and his young son and daughter he's at the cinema, art gallery or zoo <br />And he is a man who loves Nature and is loving Nature a sin? <br />For he is looked on with suspicion the fellow who doesn't fit in. <br /> <br />Politics, women, money and work matters of such topics he tend to stay clear <br />And he's just your average type of person his children and his wife to him dear <br />Yet he is looked on as quite boring and his name is mentioned with a grin <br />And life isn't meant to be easy for the fellow who 'doesn't fit in'<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-fellow-who-doesn-t-fit-in/
