Father vs Son
by June Nash
.
He would send a check when ever he heard
From his only son, just a call or word
Son doesn’t make much, and dropped out of school
Dad gives good advise, but son’s such a fool
.
His son, very proud, bribing doesn’t work
Not concerned with cash, thinks Dad is a Jerk
Only wants some sign of recognition
A mark of respect, not denigration
.
So son does not write, rarely makes a call
The insulting check, trying to forestall
He would come visit, would stay for a while
If only pop stopped the critical bile
