A New Improved Me

As sons go, I've got one of the best
Proud as punch as you can see
A lot of his traits are much like mine
A new and improved version of me

We walk the same, we talk the same
Our outlook is almost identical
Finding humour in mundane things
Funny bones we constantly tickle

Enjoy performing our comedy routine
For those who happen to be near
Be they male or female it matters not
Squeaky clean humour, no fear

Proud as punch is how I am feeling
To have fathered this gem of a son
A little bit bias? Well maybe you're right
But we sure have oodles of fun!

If he's anything like you... You've hit pay dirt... Hope he writes some day, too. Dragon and I read your poems to the penguins + the Weird frogs every day. They love them. Me, too. Oooppps... I just tripped over Dragons tail... be glad you son doesn't have one...That tail is forever getting in the way... I make him hold on to it before walking into stores... or breakage would be aweful...LOL

I can't imagine an improved you as you are a very awesome version humanity, one of the best! Your heart and humor is top notch, it would take a very special person to top you, and I'm sure your son would be just that! This is a brilliant poem my friend! I really enjoyed reading this lovely write this morning! What a stupendous piece, Great Work!!
