G Day
Most Jewish people name their kids
For someone who’s deceased,
Or if they don’t, their first initial
Might be used, at least.
My father, George, was born today
In 1924,
Though when my son was born
He wasn’t with us anymore.
So Geoffrey, spelled the English way,
As tribute to my dad,
Is here with me today, a date
That’s always somewhat sad.
Of course, my father’s on my mind
But life makes its demands
And George would be delighted by
Both Geoffrey and the grands.
