Fathers Day 2006

Why would I want to see you play?
You broke what!
We don’t have money to spend on Doctors,
You hear me boy!
School is to learn,
Not to play football
Do your homework and get to bed,
Tomorrow is another day
You hear me boy!
Another game is over
So Lick your wounds and go home.
Don’t go where teens congregate
It would cost something,
And money doesn’t grow on trees.
You hear me boy!
God made me a success
Not because of, but In spite of, your example,
I’ve only a mixed up head to show.
Love and recognition was all I ever needed
Even now your memory haunts me.
You hear me dad!
