Charles Messina Poet Ode

Notes About The Poem

For years my dad would pull-off this hilarious joke. He's done it to me and all six of my siblings at one time or another. The best was when he did it to one of my friends when we were in our early teens. He asked my friend to get him a "Bottle Squeezer" out of the drawer so that he could squeeze the last few drops out of his bottle wine. My friend searched through the drawer and pulled out just about every utensil in there before finally asking- "What exactly doea it look like" My father replied- "It looks like a "Gazinta" you know, one of those things that "goes in ta" something. (lol)

Bottle Squeezer

As we sat around the table drinking our glasses of tea 
My father wanted his bottle squeezer, so he asked for it, from me 
As I searched through all the drawers and looked through every door 
I couldn't find that bottle squeezer, nor have I ever did before
 
As we sat around the table, dessert time now was due 
My mother asked me- son...would you like to try some "Snu" 
Not knowing what the stuff was, I asked my mom "What's snu" 
She said to me- "Nothing much- what is new, with you" 

I asked her where the bottle squeezer was, so I could give it to my dad 
She said- "Sorry son, but ya know, I think you've just been had 
There's no such thing you're looking for dad called a "Bottle Squeezer" 
He's pulled that joke on me before, your dad is such a teaser
