Dear Papa

An Ode to the pater familias

In song and verse

It is not often said

Just how much of a curse

The dad has instead.

Hardly a mention of the father breaks

Through the din of mama and mother.

It’s easy to point out when one fakes

And instead talking about papa it’s another.

Rock said Dad gets the big piece of chicken.

Glory should be given to the man

Who heads the house in order to thicken

The money pot and devise a plan.

Father is the leader of the team.

You are CEO of the castle.

You produce the cream

In order to avoid the hassle.

While Mommy is obviously needed,

You keep the family in tact

You will never be defeated.

And that is an absolute fact.
