Or close to that amount.
Give him a can or two of beer 
Or perhaps a higher count.

A way to walk off with a cask!

Plunders and Looters

they plunder and loot
the fruits of the founding fathers of this nation
they think what we know
is just what they they choose to tell us.

Astride, sitting on mama's needs

Always working, caring less for rest.

Father's Day

If someone are talking about
your mom,
sharing memories
who wouldn't cry?

If someone are talking about
your dad,
sharing works
Who looking up?

My dad was renown as a cad
Which made my love life rather sad
Would I know when I kissed her
That she was my sister?
If not, he would be a grand dad!

It was Father's Day Sunday ~
We knew it might be his last.
Still the phone never rang.
Did our best to hide the hurt.

What’s life’s punishment most severe
That oft fills these old eyes with tear?
While fathers wonder
At rest six feet under
Their children’s future is not clear

Slow Down

Slow down and remain
eight years old and all squirmy
footie pajamas and dolls

glitter on tables
tea parties and teddy bears
and you weren't always busy.

In Response To Your Question

Anger to me is
Wet and red
And sucks like quicksand

And war is black and loud
With fathers’ screams
Mother’s fists
And children’s silence

I fear both
