Dad
He insisted on buying me a new table
For the kitchen
And then wanted to help me build it
I thought I was more spritely than he,
But he put together 3 chairs
To my one
I bought him a CD of the music of Dean Martin
And two dozen eggs.
He said, “eggcellent”.
Happy Fathers Day old man.

Your father sounds like "eggcellent" man. Alright, sorry for reusing the pun. But I like it. I do wonder though, why would you buy him two dozen eggs?

Haha. Its all good. It was actually a joke because in the past year he has decided to eat like 8 eggs a day. So it became like a family joke. Besides, what do you get a 70 year old man who pretty much has everything else? Eggs, of course!

Eight eggs a day!!! Of course you would buy him eggs for Father's Day! It would be irresponsible not to.

Yeah. 8 eggs. Can you believe it? And I agree, it would be completely irresponsible!! Hahaha

this poem took me far away
50 long years ago to when
I found myself all alone
