What a Father Wants for Father's Day

Neither gifts fancy nor restaurants shmancy No more ties, belts or wallets please And forget the paisley long johns It’s June – I won’t freeze Just give me a hug every day a smile in every word you say A pleasant greeting, a kiss every morn ~ treasured gifts, never timeworn

Agree with every word GW… however, I got a couple of bottle of gin… in fact… I’m hugging one right now ;-)

Time to do so some 'gin-ups,' Terry -- right after you complete a few '16-ounce curls.' lol. ~ Gershon

The remote... Ahem,... Oh, that's what it was I saw those scavengers looking at this morning. Heh-heh.
