a biography
Solidly, Charlie spreads himself
The red wine bottle near
It won't last for very long
Despite quality or year
Face broad, toothy, smiles
Both wickedly and kind
Personal and work stress
Seem all left behind
In truth, though, deeply suffers
One child much loved but lost
Takes banter, loudly proffers
Small talk but at some cost
Generous neighbour, he assists
In little chores, with friendliness
Windows fixed, picks up, persists
Calls any kindness generous
Prefers his girls to be too young
Asian, thirty-ish, he's said
Offers them a lech'rous tongue
Expects their legs to spread
Or
Then takes them to his bed
Diligently visiting his Mum
One small gold dog adores
Shows them both his loving heart
Faithfulness with flaws.
