On this day I shall honour my Dad <br />who made me and my siblings quite mad, <br />though this happened back then <br />and today we are men <br />who can only be thoughtful and sad. <br /> <br />He has gone to his place in the sky, <br />where he, doubtless, still wears that silk tie. <br />We shall toast you this noon <br />and I'll eat with A SPOON <br />two large pieces of blueberrypie. <br /> <br />Perhaps you are tempted to spank <br />but today is the day to be frank. <br />Well, we took a deep breath <br />when you left. And in death <br />even generals give up their rank.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/happy-father-s-day-mon-g-n-ral/
