Deadbeat Dad

You were always mulling around the house

Like there was nothing to do

There were dishes in the sink, Garbage to take out, Kids to feed

But no you wanted a beer, a cold one at that

I hated you more than you can imagine

You were suppose to be my father

The father that went to work, didn't beat his kids, and took care of his wife

I hold no regret for killing you...I rejoiced in it

The only thing that I regret is killing you fast

Author's Note

Just some grudge going overboard...I didn't really kill my "dad"

Reviews

[Sally Edwards]

Good well written poem, a smooth read, emotional and almost matter of fact.

[Wolfwind Words]

Sometimes a fathers inaction can be more of a painful thing to a daughter then any action he might take.
I like this, it's short but conveys a strong message to any dead beat, or lazy dads.
Love thine daughter, or suffer the consequences!
Good poem!
