Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

Father's Day - Any Year

Excursions, picnics, get-togethers, ballgames
  An exhausted father slumps into his favorite armchair, leans back --
Ah, the pot of gold at the end of ‘his special day’
  
…Dad hobbles outside – bad knees and all – to set up
     the sprinklers and haul in the gear from the van
