Happy Father's Day

Happy Father’s Day, today my Father
I really wish that I could call you Dad
You insisted it was never any bother
Your smiling firstborn ever made you glad

Seems now to have been just another stage
Supporting role well rehearsed and played
Punctually turned forward pianist’s page
Everyone knew you’d always make the grade

So with this ten bucks off discount coupon
From the local super outdoorsman’s shop
I scoped and searched for some wee token
Fact is, I shopped until I nearly dropped
.
But you never cared much for casting plugs
Not much a one to punt, pass or kick a ball
Maybe that’s why I shrink your hugs
It hurt too much to watch your fall
