what’s good for the dad is great for the lad

..what’s good for the dad  
is great for the lad  
a father said to his son,      
 
we’re one in the same,  
both in the same frame,        
we are dad and we are son..        
 
on this day lad bonds with dad  
on how a man should stand tall,        
“a man needs to stand for bravery,
or for anything else he will fall”,        
 
“real men never show fear  
and real men don’t ever run”..        
“karate, judo or boxing would be great defenses for a son,        
 
then you my lad,  
will stand your ground  
and never break your fun”,        
 
“even from some bigger ones  
or those with a destructive tongue”.. ,        
“yes, self defense classes  
would definitely help out a ton"..    
   
yes dad”, pondered the young tad  
“out your mouth you say”,    
“what’s good for my dad
is good for your lad  
on any given day”,    
 
“i’ll do what i can to stand like a man,
cause i want to be just like you”..          
 
 (quietly under his breath)    
 
that’s why i’ve gone through your bag  
and snatched out your gat..        
       
.. and i’m carrying “our” gun to school.
