Sick Daddy SlamA Poem by Jeremiah GerstnerI have three sons five years old or younger, and they just don't get that I'm feelin' like spit.
Sick and tired
Immune system fired Feelin so bad But gotta be dad Gotta stay on my feet Watch listen repeat Repeat repeat repeat My life is complete Now if I could just take A five minute break A snack you say? It's on the way (If you say please And ate all of your veggies) Have some cheese No? How bout these? Try using English And not childese. There you have it Happy now? Take a bow Exit quick To the room Listen for big booms By myself Check the shelf Where's my lukewarm soda? Where's my Yoda To teach me the ways of the force Of course, I've got skills Force of will I will see all those teeth brushed No rush Take your time It's your stories we're missing, not mine Lay your heads In your beds I'll go hack up a lung So fun Rest my sons Time is borrowed It's a big day tomorrow © 2016 Jeremiah GerstnerAuthor's Note
