Greedy Ol' Da

What do you want for your birthday dad?
How about a table at Queen’s Surf
Waikiki
Sipping a mixed drink
Listening to the Chief of Police 
Singing a song
As a sliver moon 
Crests Diamond Head
Red Gold

Or a day on Mac’s lobster boat
Following Novi dog
To keep from underfoot
Enjoying the company
Of fellow travelers
Both joyfully aware

Greedy  Old  Dad
Settling for Now
And
Quiet
Joy
