Their father passed away
Three years ago now
They should be over it somehow


He said he did not feel like
getting up out of bed today
How lazy is that anyway


She told me that her child
can't undertake a full school day
All children should be in school,
for the full day,
come what may


Tom's mother is elderly now
She needs her shopping delivered,
four times a week
Tom said he is not able to do it
Listen all of us have,
a full on week
Tom needs to quit being bleak
Pull his finger out
and undertake his duty,
without doubt
