The Sad Bastards Club Poem by Francesca Johnson

The Sad Bastards Club

Rating: 5.0


A happy lot, us Sad Bastards.
We raise our glasses
Kick some asses
Laugh, tell rude jokes
Give the fire a poke
And throw on another log.
We talk of locks
And untimely clocks
And stocks and shares
And dual-purpose chairs
Play the organ, sing and giggle
Until 3 in the morning
When mutually yawning
We tuck ourselves into bed.
A happy lot
Us Sad Bastards.

Helen's wrong I do know that you work for a living...also how hard you work and how much you put into your career.Sad Bastards are the ones who havenot given up on the finer things in life. Sid.

The last thing you are. When do you write 'The Glorious Goddess' Club'? However, I loved this. The simple things in life......better to be happy in oneself and doing what might appear little than swanning around in a limo to hoighty-toighy restaurants etc, methinks. Only recognised that one lately! :) t x

Sounds like the words of a group of carefree, self-funded retirees messing about on a boat, perhaps? Such delightful irony in your title - and English through and through Your wit is most infectious Fran. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
