Where's the usual gratuitous violence/anger of Dad poetry? Usually you write from the perspective of a scrooge. I mean, it's a nice sentiment and all, but I could see someone else writing this. I have revised it to be a more traditional dad poem:
Not all my poems are angry. Like my Gamma Robot series.
But since you're hungrin for some ange mongrin, here's one just for you:
Jimmy Joe Jack popped by my place today Looking at me in that menacing way Vainly, profanely saying what I should do "I'd keep my mouth shut if I was like you"
Someday I'll stop letting Jim bring me down I'll take a lot, but don't kick me around Sanely, humanely I'll make Jimmy fall They'll make me big boss and I'll rule 'em all

ReplyDeleteI give thanks for the wine and the food
I give thanks for the holiday mood
I give thanks for the laughter and fun
I give thanks for the lead in my gun.
And if this were my last earthly day
I'd give thanks that it ended this way
Done.
Now, now, dzmappa-bo
ReplyDeleteThe poem shows the strong influence of your father before you, paw.
albeit secularized

"The Ballad of Jimmy Joe Jack" is a true masterpiece.
