The Sad Old Man .

Hello , one and all . Let me just say , That , I'm the Sad Old Man , that's who I am . I've never really had a plan , I've never really thought things through , I've let the years pass me by , Many times I've felt that i've wanted to ,  Die that is , To let the years go idly  by , Well that's criminal in a way , To let your savings drain away ,  To be in this position today , Of having to work everyday , To be alone and unloved , Well I'm not the only one , But even so ! These will be my thoughts , what I'm thinking week by week , day by day , It's time for this little  man to have his say . WELCOME .
