The Card
The card.
Thanks for the card
I loved the design
The words were perfect
The sentiment sublime
You know you really shouldn’t
Your time is so precious
But you still waste it on me
Says so much about us
Our love and respect
As always days late
I haven’t received it yet
I’ll send your money on time
For your birthday each year
I send more for your daughter
Though I’ll never see her
No need for more lies
Shrug and face reality
You never sent the card
You think nothing of me
Such a wonderful daughter
As I’m a wonderful dad
We’re both as good as each other.
And both equally as bad.
