A Special Day -- A Special Year
Father's Day comes but once a year
So let me take this opportunity to say
Have a leisurely time in every single way:
You don't have to oil the cat in his bay
because he's often staying away
from his usual naughty play
and when he strays to swing his hips your
way,
you can spank him anyway
You don't have to mow the lawn
or sing a song
because the backyard sprinklers have gone
astray
or move along too fast
lest the naughty beast swat your derriere
Yet when you hear the morning chimes of your
favorite tenor singing at his highest and loudest cry.
"It's not a raven evermore, but the Creature
crying murder!" wanting you to feed him his favorite--American pie!
made up of crunchies and meat,
Oh what a treat for the Creature to shut
up and sleep.
Until such time he'll make another mournful
retreat:
"Feed me, feed me--lest I starve and shrink"
Let me revise this and say that though Father's
day comes once a year
the Creature demands attention all throughout
the year!
