As gray as a badger old Jock the Scottish bloke
From gambling and drinking he often is broke
One of the most likable people in his side of the town
He manages to smile even when financially down
His wife left him and took with him their baby son this is going back in time
When Jock was in his mid twenties and in his physical prime
Because of his addiction to drinking and gambling with him she did not stay
He does not have a clue where they might be today
Though in his late seventies his addiction to gambling and drink with him remain
His love for alcohol and gambling seems beyond him to explain
I do not always lose he says with a grin
Sometimes a horse i back at long odds to my joy does win
But gambling and drinking has cost him in life
His nearest and dearest his son and ex wife.
