Butterfly in a Storm

He wore a leather jacket

And leather shoes

He had an affliction

For life’s blues

He had leather skin

And a short fuse

He always won the race

To be the first one to lose

Leather coat

Leather belt

Everything he touched

He never felt

He was born old

He wished he was never born

His life was a short ride

Like a butterfly in a storm
