Honest Appraisal for friend Petrus

poem in rhyming quatrains

Honest Appraisal

I've listened to your tale of woe.
I must confess impatiently.
I think it best that you should go
You don't excite my sympathy.

You will not want nor will you work.
You seem to think that you deserve
For free. That's why you shirk
. The system is not meant to serve.

Such workshy idle layabouts.
If you won't work then you should want
Upon that score I have no doubt.
There's some excuse for those who can't.

I listened to your tale of woe
but I do not believe a word
You are an idle so and so.
Your claims are patently absurd.

Although I am a pensioner
I worked for all that I receive.
Part of their earnings men defer
for their old age I do believe

But men like you are quite content
complaining that you don't get enough.
My words to you heart felt and meant.
You're just a bum so bugger off..
