What To Say About John...?

John
 is:

in commodities
and Cockney
married,

paranoid and bearded 
                          a good tipper
but now, 
belly 
up 
           and elbow bent,

polo shirt
stretched taut
                      as a ship sails
                                    across
his tits
        
            
           
Fundamentally it must be said, John's become 
                    just someone 
who drinks beer.
