I Write This Poem Somewhat In Fear

It was just after I posted 
My last two poems
Our precious poetrysoup
Went Ka Boom

With hope I pray I wasn't the cause 
Of the dreadful fall
But I must get something off  my chest
My son-in-law is climbing the walls

You see he read his poem
And called me a liar
He said he may let me keep my cane
But the coke will have to go
Unless it is a real small cup
With lots of ice or snow

So with head hung low 
I must make a correction to my verse
He only cut the bottom off one bottle 
Not two like I was assumed

And then he reminded me
He had to drop to the floor on one more chore
He had to retrieve my cane for me
Once more

I guess he really had been abused
But there is one thing he doesn't know
His daughters friend has made for him
His very own pair of BEER GOGGLES
And then I AM GOING TO ROAR
