Ode to Dads Everywhere

Fathers Day is fast approaching and I don't think it gets the attention or fanfare of Mothers Day which is slightly unfair. So in the spirit of "parent celebration days" I thought It's dads turn, with my Ode to Dads everywhere!

Dad, Papa and Daddy

There are many different ones

But one thing they have in common

Is they are always really fun!

They teach you how to sword fight

And how to ride a bike

They also teach you lots of things

Your mama wouldn't like!

Like Star Wars and Darth Vader

And Iron Man and Thor

And other superheroes

That mothers find a bore!

But who needs superheroes

When you have one that's called Dad

He reads you bedtime stories

And tips you upside down when sad

He gives you rides up on his back

And plays all day ninja fights

He takes you out on windy days

And helps you fly your kite!

Dads don't always get much credit

Cause they didn't push you out

They had to stand there patiently

And watch you pop right out! *

So on Fathers Day its time this year

To treat him like a king

Buy him socks, or chocolates

And some other dad such things

For what would we do without them

Cause dads are the most fun

The teach you all the cool stuff

And the aftermath, that's MUM!

(* No child in the history of any children being born has any of them - just "popped right out!")
