Ratbag Jack : Adult Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

 

Ratbag Jack came home again tonight .

           

He started laying in to me

- He's insane .

 Then he tried to climb up  the stairs but he fell back down again .

God knows he's a pain .

 

Then in the morning he says that he'll never do it again .

It's always the same .

 

 

Living with Ratbag Jack is one attack after another .

I feel I'm to blame .

 I called the cops up once  ,

 Mum did too ,

but they never came and Jack came home again .

 

Mum got thrashed again and ended up in hospital ,

Ratbag Jack got drunk again .

 

The kids at school ask about my Dad ,

I say he's ok because I'm too ashamed .

 

I can't tell them of Ratbag Jack .

I'd be afraid that they'd call me a stupid name .
