Mums the Word On Fathers Day

Mum’s The Word on Father's Day

Hey DAD I didn’t forget you
I remembered I forgot
That’s just how it goes these days
my own kids I have got

It’s the way you brought me up
I didn’t have to think
Until the day you kicked me out
told me “Swim or Sink”

My kids will never forget me
though it's just a bit of fun
I would let them off with it
but they are told by MUM

My kids would not forget me........I'd beat them if they did........Forget this soppy Mummy stuff.......I'ts down to just the kid......If they forget my birthday.........That would really be a shame....Although I must admit of course.......I forget their flipping name!
