When a man goes off the rails

Like some nutter with a knife

It makes me contemplate what fails

With the women in his life?

 

Every man born has a mother

And many have a wife

So where is their restraining touch

When he submits himself to strife?

 

'It's said behind successsful men

A woman may be found

But what about the dangerous sort -....

The violent and unsound?

 

Where are their women at such times

When needed most of all -...

To hold back men from terrible crimes

And the horrors that befall?
