Dad's Dad

“dad’s dad”


the fun in function is when do becomes does
less rungs than wrongs in one that loves
i cannot climb high in my family tree
i know no nuts for as you can see
this is my stepladder because
i never knew who my real ladder was

Morning, Jeff. At least 'do' didn't become don't or doesn't. Climbing some family trees can be harmful to our health. It depends on how many nuts we might find. You are so gifted with your intriguing manner of making points. Sorry you didn't know your biological father, but maybe your stepladder was a better way to reach where you are today. Hugs

No Jeff. Every poem is open to subjectivity. I appreciate your explanation of its true meaning but I’m sure I’ve written more than a few that were misinterpreted. No apology. Lol

Sorry Lin. I feel bad about my reply to your comment; it makes it seem that you are in error of reading what I wrote, when it's actually me that wrote a bad limerick...

Thanks for your kind comment, Lin; I truly mean this. I must not be that gifted lol; it was my dad that didn't know his dad. I knew mine and know my stepfather. Both great guys :)
