[the Writing of Kuypers]
he likes building with wood
his little toy store
I heard one father actually got
I don’t know what my dad wears to sleep
be usually takes the bow tie off
but it stayed on all night
we even made a six-pack of 5700 beer
and makes fun of my drinking Yuengling beer
so yeah, come Father’s Day

untitled, Father’s Day
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
so off to Home Depot
for his gift certificate
Home Depot pajamas
for Father’s Day
& the only time I see him in a tie
is in a wedding tuxedo bow tie
as soon as he can
when he’s the father of the bride
at my wedding
for dad for our 5/07/00 wedding,
but he prefers simpler beers
by calling it “ting-a-ling”
and drinks from his case of Bud Light
I’m not getting my Indian chief father
a tie, or even Home Depot pajamas
