Happy Father's Day

A FATHER'S DAY POEMBY PAUL GILMARTIN

Dear old dad it's father's day
and I just want you to know
you're the best there ever was
at the things I'll list below:

Stinking up a bathroom
Snoring like a beast
Teaching me to mow the lawn
before I had front teeth.

Showing how to hide your feelings
Over-emphasizing winning
Teaching me the birds and bees
at a Cub game between innings.

Turning off our cartoons for
news and "Meet The Press".
Picking a vacation spot
where clowns could get depressed

Never taking out the dog.
Forgetting my friends names

Picking at your nose while coaching
all my baseball games.

I guess as I grow older,
I'm supposed to get like you,
and in some ways I must admit
I think that this is true.

When I yell my veins pop out
I've yet to touch a broom
I chuckle in my Lazy Boy
when gas clears out a room.

But one thing you won't catch me do
as long as I can breathe...
That's wearing shorts around the yard
with dress-socks to my knee.

ACK!

Tough day for some. Thanks for putting this up Tuberski.

My daughter put together a picture montage of many of her favorite shared moments growing up with dad and had it framed for me.
It was quite touching. Best father's day gift ever.

Nice Rah.

My nieces gave me a Kiss the Cook hat for "uncle's day" since I grill something 75% of the time that I visit them
