12 April 1998
Last Chance

And she stares out the dusty window,
Sees that the boys are coming home
Her man jumps quickly out of bed
He grabs clothes, shoes and his comb.

He leaves throught the front door,
As the boys run around to the back.
She sits silently and prays that her boys
Did not see Uncle Jack.

In an hour Tom is home
‘Where’s my dinner?’ he demands!
She’s not quite fast enough
And he goes at her with both hands.

She lay on the floor, battered and bruised,
The boys are getting more than a pat on the back.
With all the screaming and sobbing
Nobody noticed the arrival of Jack.

With one gun shot he made his point,
The body dropped to the floor.
Tom was dead and Jack - the hero.
The family is happy once more.
