⋲  Poem of the Week

 

 

Daddy’s Making Dinner

 

Daddy’s making dinner

I’ve seen it all before

French fries black and burning

And meat loaf on the floor

 

Daddy’s making dinner

The sugar bowl just broke

Fido ate the gravy

The house has filled with smoke

 

Daddy’s making dinner

But I’m not one to moan

Soon he will surrender

And go pick up the phone

  

Daddy made the dinner

Today’s my lucky day

Dinner’s in the trash can

And pizza’s on the way
~Jeff Mondak
