Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

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

Mike Bayles June 16, 2024 at 8:19 PM Nice sentiment. I hope this Sunday was good for many fathers.

Terry Flood June 16, 2024 at 4:02 PM Agree with every word GW… however, I got a couple of bottle of gin… in fact… I’m hugging one right now ;-) Gershon Wolf June 16, 2024 at 7:00 PM Time to do so some 'gin-ups,' Terry -- right after you complete a few '16-ounce curls.' lol. ~ Gershon

Linda Alice Fowler June 16, 2024 at 7:55 AM The best gifts come from the inside. Hugs and kisses for you today Gershon - Happy Father's Day! :) Gershon Wolf June 16, 2024 at 7:01 PM Thank you, Linda. Appreciated! ~ Father's No's Best

John Lawless June 16, 2024 at 4:58 AM ...and find me the remote.... Gershon Wolf June 16, 2024 at 7:06 PM The remote... Ahem,... Oh, that's what it was I saw those scavengers looking at this morning. Heh-heh.

Karen Jones June 15, 2024 at 9:13 PM Aw Gershon this is a great reminder of what is really important! Great poem! Gershon Wolf June 16, 2024 at 7:10 PM Agreed. What's important is how we treat those closest to us. The rest is 'commentary,' as they say. Thanks, Karen! :) gw
