Joker

This joker was once wild
Taking a multitude of risks
Some of them ill advised
And subject to my arrest

As for women, they were scarce
Most of them had common sense
A few quick fucks and they were gone
And only one of them stayed on

I have a daughter, far away
Her silence a mystery
She doubtless knows I'm but a clown
Yet not fit for my grandkids

But that cliché, "clean up my act"
Really does now apply
I may come close to cleanliness
I sure as hell will try.
