Hey Dad

Hey dad, I met a big head today Always boasting of sports, hey come see me play Anything I wanted, he had one at home From a mountain bike to a mobile phone Hey son, these guys are all ten a penny Manners they have not, whilst my boy you have many They buy their friends and their allegiance is none Your life has started, his has barely begun Hey dad, he waffles in class, about this about that Even being rude to the teacher, creating a spat Where we try to learn and get on with our work Constant interruption by this incompetent jerk Hey son, one of these days his fingers will get burnt And all in your class, will have forgotten more than he's learnt As you get older, you will become wise to your surrounds And I doubt very much, this big head will be around Hey dad, I can always rely on you To give me guidance and help see me through Absorbing knowledge will be my life's learning curve And this incompetent jerk, will get his just deserves

This is brilliant in my opinion- you captured so much in so few lines- A question though, why didn't you capitalize "i"- P.S. I am going to write the whole dream down soon and post it on PP

Well done James, I can relate to being the father, the son and the big head jerk at one time or another in my life. Deja Vu all over again. LOV'd it. JT
