Dad's Paper Boat
He called for help
Broken and beaten
Meeting after meeten
Facts had all been given
Endless documentation
Growing frustration
Within the walls of Litigation
His voice was never heard
--------
Silenced by the system
kicked and double fisted
Stripped from all freewill
His words severely twisted
In Davy's locker he remained
--------
Falsely accused and framed
Counting back nine years
By his now beloved dame
Drowned in his own tears
Life had all been drained
--------
Terrible tales cover to cover
Mr. Jones'ees locker
A place that's like no other
Every page a paper boat
Ruled by Captainess Cut-throat
---------
Revengeful renegades
Of the most unsavory sort
Fuming Mistresses Entitled Politically
Protected by the kangaroo court
--------
Dad's paper boat
Never would it float
Built from worthless hope
Down into the darkness
Fades his stern
Beyond the point
Of no return
