David Crandall Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

4/23/2025 for Rondelet Poetry Contest sponsored by Joseph May

A Day with Dad

A day with Dad -
he got tickets to watch some ball.
A day with Dad -
a great time for this lucky lad,
held captive in his father's thrall. 
A better time I can't recall -
a day with Dad.
