With respect to Loudon Wainwright III <br /> <br /> <br />I'm a solo bloke <br />At night time I'll laugh at a one man joke <br />As I sip my solitaire vodka and coke <br />Safe in the knowledge that I'll never be broke(n) <br />In my one man life <br />With connection to my estranged wife <br />I don't feel the need for a knife <br />My omnicompetence is rife <br />Yet a twenty five mile dad <br />Is a real pain to be had <br />It causes me to be a tad mad <br />But never the cad <br />In my sometimes sad pad. <br />I know my son <br />And have recognised the fun <br />Since his time had begun <br />Love by the ton <br />No battles to be won <br />I know the deal <br />But it causes me to feel <br />Like my skin needs to peel <br />In his presence it does anneal. <br />A mutual reliance <br />To the world I'll show my defiance <br />He is my son.<br /><br />Esra Sloblock<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/solo-2/
