Socks'N'Jocks

SOCKS 'N' JOCKS

Fathers can be a neglected lot
When it comes to Father's Day,
Mothers are treated differently
In a more delightful way.

Fathers are often forgotten,
Or lucky to get socks 'n' jocks.
Mothers get bunches of flowers
And more than one chocolate box.

Fathers don't get breakfast in bed
Like mothers on their special day,
The restaurants are not booked out
As they are that Sunday in May.

This Father's Day when it arrives
The eighteenth day of June
We'll buy a special gift for him
Then he'll be over the moon.

The family is in a quandary
We don't know what to give dad,
Trying to think of something
To make him smile and be glad.

It's Father's Day, we are excited
We're sure he will find it a thrill,
Now he can do jobs he's put off,
Our gift is a new cordless drill.

The look on his face said it all
When he saw what was in the box.
We knew just what he was thinking,
He wished it had been socks 'n' jocks.
