untitled, Father’s Day
Janet Kuypers, 06/18/06
they say the favorite Father’s Day present
is a tie
& I don’t think I’ve seen my dad wear a suit tie
in all my life
he like building with wood
so off to Home Depot
for his gift certificate
his little toy store
I heard one father actually got
Home Depot pajamas
for Father’s Day
I don’t know what my dead wears to sleep
& the only time I see him in a tie
is in a wedding tuxedo bow tie
be usually takes the bow tie off
as soon as he can
when he’s the father of the bride
but it stayed on all night
at my wedding
we even made a six-pack of 5700 beer
for dad for our 5/07/00 wedding,
but he prefers simpler beers
and makes fun of my drinking Yuengling beer
by calling it “ting-a-ling”
and drinks from his case of Bud Light
so yeah, come Father’s Day
I’m not getting my Indian chief father
a tie, or even Home Depot pajamas
