Typical Father of the 21st Century

My daddy is the strongest man I love when we stroll hand in hand We like things, mom doesn't understand If only he had more time When we fish, he says I'm great He always lets me hook the bate We eat candy until I get a belly ache If only he had more time He lets me watch the grown up shows Says mama doesn't have to know Unlike mom, he doesn't cook, clean and sew If only he had more time When we play games, he lets me win We take the 4 wheeler out for a spin I get to stay awake past ten If only he had more time His visits have become few and far between He says his free time is growing lean I guess you could say I've started to ween If only he made more time
