Happy Father's Day

I hesitated coz it seemed mean to post this on Father's Day.  So I waited until nearly 10 pm .  That's my only compromise.  There are fathers out there they know who they are.  They are not around in the early years then when they get to pre  teens or some magical age they suddenly want to be in the child's life.  I don't get that. Then they have the audacity to get the same  aka laid as a Mother on Mother's day

#136 Happy Fathers day

For all those fathers

Sitting at home

Waiting for the card

Waiting for the call

Waiting

With your spliff and your special brew

Where did you go wrong?

Why is it this celebration

Is not about you

For all the fathers who quit

Because those nappies was

A little too smelly

Then the fathers

Who wanted to focus

On  xbox and telly

For the fathers who never made

Parents evening

‘What they really need to see both of us?’

I’ve got runnings and things to do

For the fathers who missed

All those school plays

That just went on and on

I don’t need that fuss

For the fathers who never read the night time book

Never bathed the baby

Never rocked the cot

On one of those too many sleepless nights

Where is my present?

Where is my card?

Where are my flower’s?

Not even a phone call

Now I know how it must have felt like

This is so hard

What have I done to deserve this?

Whatever I done

Didn’t you understand

It wasn’t directed at you

Now it’s my time

For a Happy Father’s Day Rhyme
