Father and Son

Father And Son
 
--Mirrored Refrain—
--xaBA xbAB xaBA xbAB xaBA xbAB—
--Father and Son—

Fare thee well, to humbly exist and live for my son
If he feels blue, I’ll be his clown
Everything will be fine and dandy
As a father knows best

Mother having the hand that rocks the cradle
Father as a pillar of the home
As a father knows best
Everything will be fine and dandy

I’ll choose clothes that fit him
Among the choices to pare down
Everything will be fine and dandy
As a father knows best

Accompanying him for his first haircut with the barber
And buying for his first pocket comb
As a father knows best
Everything will be fine and dandy

Accompany him to every breathtaking ride
Share the quiver and embrace to cool down
Everything will be fine and dandy
As a father knows best

Learn the ropes and lend an ear
For life is the epitome of adventuresome
As a father knows best
Everything will be fine and dandy

Susan Keogh March 23, 2010 at 7:40 PM This is simply beautiful and so visual. My poem The Barroom Clown was actually written about my husband, Gerard. I met him when I was tending bar and he was a letter carrier who came in with his buddies after work. The seniors loved to listen to him, as he made them laugh. He is also on this site. Thanks for you comment. Sue

Gerard Keogh Jr. March 22, 2010 at 12:37 PM This is really quite good, you know. It should place among the winners. It has almost a musical rhythm to it. And it utilizes everyday speech with effect. Thank you for your comments. Regards, Gerard
