Conversations with my son

I told my son

I got er done!

He said so

your referrals you know

are nicknamed

fancy pants and

big stink, so grand!

*

If it pays off does it matter?

Yours is Fast Pat, a little better

It could give some the wrong idea.

It doesn't mean shady, just a

remark on how quickly I can get it done twice

as fast as my friends as I am quick on the ice

The nicknames actually could be worse

let's not be terse.

They will both do their best

above many of the rest.

It will be a test!

*

Okay, it's only my business he said.

If it is meant to be, it will be. Instead

let's know you will do great

no matter what, out of the gate!

Solar energy is environmentally

better than what we have now. Suddenly

many say this. Then those who say no

it can be cost prohibitive so no go.

*

I am always on your side

in this lifetime ride.

I wish you well,

I know you can sell.

You will do great my boy

as you are first-rate, my joy!

*

A bit upset

you don't get

my tribe's business. I find out

it is due to a dishonest lout!

I am so grateful

for you being truthful!

Proud of you for not doing that!

I would vote for honest Pat!
