Sometimes I got the impression
That Fred truly believed himself
When he joked: A man of my calibre
Who has high principles.
He is so lucky he never
Got pulled up by the law
For more than an illegal number plate.
I don't overly mind anyone who
Take Recreational drugs in their
Home or at a friend's house
Such as having a smoke, as
Nobody dies from getting stoned.
But when you strike someone
On the back of the head
Or brag about breaking bones
I would have said Fred
Deserved to be fined and cautioned.
The man should have pressed charges.
Fred attacked him for one reason:
To prove he was a hard man.
