DEAR OLD DAD

 

My children never write to me;

I don't think they know how.

They never use the telephone;

Perhaps they took a vow!

If only they would contact me

I'd have so much to say –

Like "Have you gotten married yet?"

And "When is your birthday?"

And sound advice – I'm full of it! –

My wisdom is benign;

I'd tell them life's a big balloon

And they're a porcupine.

I'd ask them for a little loan

And if their clothes are clean;

I'd tell them they're too fat by far

And which foods are most lean.

But do you think that they can spare

A sec for dear old dad?

I gave them everything in life –

Now silence is their fad!
