Fathers Day
It’s not the fathers we think of
upon this day
but the mothers who took time
to bake those oatmeal cookies
who made the fathers feel part
for few the sons
who compose the card
who pick out the tie
No, it’s their mothers who say
Sign this card to your daddy
Call your father
I don’t care
you haven’t spoken in years
Tomorrow I will not expect
the card
the cookies
the call
for you see
My mother isn’t here to remind
Anybody.
