'Hi daddy.' <br />Yes, Johnnie? <br />Hi. <br />Daddy is busy right now. <br />I am having a community meeting, <br />With our wonderful neighbors. <br /> <br />'But daddy... <br />You said this morning, <br />You would help me with my homework.' <br /> <br />I know. <br />And I will. <br />Give me just a few more minutes. <br />I'll be right with you, okay? <br /> <br />'Ooookay. <br />And daddy...? <br />Is 'this' the meeting you said will be the last one, <br />With those clowns and buffoons? <br />Especially with our brain dead neighbors next door. <br />Those empty headed 'dorks'? ' <br /> <br />Johnnie? <br />What did I tell you about repeating 'everything', <br />You hear your Uncle Scotty say around here? <br /> <br />'But daddy... <br />I thought you said Uncle Scotty left last week, <br />On yet 'another' honeymoon? <br />I'm sorry. <br />I thought that was 'you' talking to mommy.'<br /><br />Lawrence S.
