what's a bloke to do - well?

Well, what's a bloke to do when he's well worn?

He's damaged, shabby, tired of what's gone down.

He feels a bit used up since he's been born,

and likes not what he's seen, this end of town.

His personality and place within

his fam'ly life, and loves, have given him

the insight to see through, and to begin;

but still feels like a gold fish that don't swim.

The pane of glass (that walls him from the world),

the other side of which is calling him

(because since he has grown, it's now been "girled"),

can complicate and make all life seem dim.

Well, what's a bloke to do? I ask again.

I wonder if it starts with "Thank you" 's for

the little goods that come his way just when

they're needed; then, I think there might be more…

Well, something bit like "stick with other folk",

and "learn to hear the truth from them - in love",

and "do the same for them", as well as "joke

about a bit - in flavours from above".

I know I'm glad, my God, to be worn out

by doing good for sake of those around,

that's with creative energy and clout,

to trust your kind'a rule where it is found. 

"your kind'a rule" means that your rule is kind-

-er than the other rules around at times.

And "worn out" spreading this, sets a remind-

er: that I'll spend this life. See that it rhymes.
