Dirty dan

Pat Butler

Dirty dan only cared for his self
Putting others on a shelf
The family he could've had
Before he went raving mad
He did some stupid things
Now a noose becomes a ring
Around his neck so distrurbingly
 tight
As he received his sentence
 tonight
For the pain inposed upon
 a child
Because of his obsessive need
 to be wild
Now forever behind prison walls
No family friends or phone calls
Left to rote away
Til his dying day
