Never a Father
By Richard H. Fay
A selfish, self-centered, substitute sire
So swift with the stern scowls and stiff scoldings
Played the part of pinch parent but poorly.
A brooding, bearish, brute of a buffoon,
With a beetled brow and boneheaded ways,
Proved a wretchedly rotten role model.
A lanky lunk lacking paternal love,
A self-absorbed simp with scant tolerance,
Neglected his task to nurture and care.
An irascible, immature jackass,
A greatly glowering glob of a goon,
Utterly failed as a father figure.
Never a son of yours;
Never a father of mine;
Thank goodness!
