So charming, one found him amusing:
though, even right from the beginning
he didn't know how to love women
cared nothing for loving and giving
while worshiped through earning a living
had squandered such savings on sinning
at liberty quaffing and sipping
negligent, wounding, unthinking,
let loose the tongue's excessive prating
and blasphemed which sounded so frightening;
when dog like haphazardly mating
remorse and compassion were lacking
brutal, the grip held kept tightening
oblivious as the web woven
yet floundering, barely surviving;
treacherous, insecure, wavering
and night after eve slowly sinking
unyielding, that ole Demon's drinking!
