405 - Bless this damned house

The family unit is the place to be
Especially when the times are getting bad
When interest rates are rising and money
Is scarce, good investments aren't to be had
And then, as you become just an old dad
No longer looked at by the lustful eyes
Of the young, then the family's not so bad
No money, no looks, not such a surprise
That you accept her unfair shouts and cries
What's the alternative, a new lady?
How much would that cost? Would she like my pad?
Would I have to eat salad, drop the pies?
Nah, best to stick with what fate has dealt me
And it's enough, I think, for this old lad
