Head of Houshold?

He thought he was head of household.
‘I’m a man.’ Started to grow old.
When business needed to be handled, he never did it.
When the yard needed mowing, he never tended to it.
Was lazy on the job. Didn’t care he was about to lose it.
Instead of making sure he paid the bills,
Was only concerned with the size of his rims.
The tables slowly turned and she was the breadwinner.
His thoughts of being a man had no weight.
Became lazy and sorry. Became a quitter.

Trouble entered home and he ignored it.
Trials occurred and he ran from it.
Thought she was just bitching,
Never realizing being the man he thought he was never materialized.
Just another example of bad reaping bad.
And wonders why his son ain’t worth a damn.
Gets mad when his daughters choose the wrong guys.
Talked it.
Was too weak to walk it.
Mouth wrote many checks.
Ass could never cash them.
Wanted the title but wasn’t willing to work for it.
Wanted the name but couldn’t vouch for it.
Didn’t learn that if you have to boisterous, trying to make it known,
The title is not something you own.
