Poor little Jimmy A Poem by debileah (a poem about my dad)

poor little jimmy

woke up one morning

found his mother

dead in her bed

a heart attack

 

poor little jimmy

ran away

from his step father

who horse whipped him

everytime he got drunk

 

poor little jimmy

joined the merchant marines

when he was just fourteen

then joined the navy

and went over seas

 

poor little jimmy

he fought in world war two

caught scarlet fever

and was quaranteened

lost his crew at sea

 

poor little jimmy

he became a sailor

and a chef

he worked hard

he did his best

 

poor little jimmy

came home from war

he married a beautiful girl

her name was betty eileen

lived out his life with her

 

poor little jimmy

lost his lovely wife

to cancer's call

when they said goodbye

little jimmy he did cry
