Disney Dad
Aldo Green
He loves his boy
From sun up
Until something else
Pisses him off
Or he thinks
To himself
Too much of the loss
He lost
So many years ago
He’s the dad
That plays ball
But tires easily
With boredom
Loves to go biking
But only to the Park
The kind of dad that loves
Only if it suits himself
And the folks looking on
To the naked eye
He is all that I am not
Perfect and considerate
Kind and respectful
Disney dads take pride
In fooling everyone
Especially themselves
Believing they are Dads
Of great stature and grace
Forgetting the times
They are drunk, high
Mad or abusive
Disney dads are the first
To point out faults
Of others that they see
Blindly in themselves
Then recommend medicine
They wouldn’t take
In a hundred years
And yet a Disney Dad is still
Better than an Oprah Mom
Freaking out over skinned
Knees and broken promises
Trying to get to the truth
Of being free
Just like your father
