Ho Ho Ho Humbug!

When i hear
People mention
Santa's Sack
I have to stop
My imagination
(And show some slack)
From running
Away from me
It's really
Just to much
Yackity yack!

Dad

Dad
opened the car door
and watched my sister drop
to the ground before she looked
up and saw the angry face of
Dad.

Making good

Who better to trust
than he who fixes all things —
rebuilds vehicles,
restores engines, repairs clocks,
builds, constructs and renovates?

Concerning Lee

I have

Just become

A father.

It was

The happiest moment

In my life.

I hope

I will

Live a life

That

Won’t disappoint him.’

Consequences

When Mom and Dad
don't get along
It's the child that feels
the consequences.
Nobody cares about
The price when
endeavors resume
Because
It's all fair in
love and war

CROSSING PATHS 2

Gotta be careful, man
People are on the path"
He says to his son
Swinging branches
Around in a circle
As I approach

What Mimi's Dad Said About Her Choice

Blows up in your face" was what
Mimi's dad said about her choice
of becoming a professional model
for a certain type of magazine.

Sitting on the back of her dresser

pain remains
boxed up

in

closure's
ashes,

the epitome of the apple

my laugh
is legacy—

it bellows
.

and
he lives,



there.

Father's Day

Wish
once I had
wished him
on a
father's day!

Probably
would’ve
asked me
what
it was...

don't feel bad

our son came to visit
today for the first chance I've
had since my stroke

to reassure him that
I'm still his ol' dad and I'm
still the same bloke
