She knew he was no good
From the start, but kidded
Herself that maybe she
Could nag him into shape,
Get him to have a bath,
Shave and comb his long hair,
Might get him to drink less
And smoke not at all, could
Find him better culture,
More refinement, might get
Him to church once in a
While, could get him to smell
Better and curse less with
Four letter words that bit
Into her ears and soul,
But she never did and
He never did, and she
Knew he was no good from
The very start and that
Was the real tragic part.

It doesn't have to be exactly, drinking and bathing and what not... and im not going to admit i can relate to this, however, I will say this poem just did wonders for me. I don't know, you end so well - you make so much sense with what you choose for your people. Find him better culture, wow. GET HIM TO SMELL BETTER. this is probably one of my favorites from you. Which I don't really mean, I just really wow haha sorry
Well written.
