Write a story or poem of 5 Lines or Less using the word Saint
He was no saint that was for sure.
A larrikin, a boy among men a worry to his mum.
But when disaster struck he was first there, lending a hand, doing his bit.
People marvelled at his resilience, his work ethic.
Later in the pub, with a few drinks under his belt, his old self reappeared.

I have known a few folks like this but I didn’t know they were larrikins. Thanks for sharing and teaching me a new word.
My pleasure.
