Mum, Do you have any suggestions
What I can get Dad for Father’s day?
‘Oh, I certainly can think of one or two things
But it’s better that nothing, I say.
Though
How about a course in etiquette
Or in table manners, at least
Then every meal that we sit down to
Wouldn’t be like eating with a beast!
Perhaps a secret ‘Make over’ day
Like the ones you see on the telly
Where they give men back their self esteem
And instantly reduce their belly
How about getting him some new socks
Or even a tie in the sale
Or a ‘brick’ to put through his computer screen
Now that really would get him to wail.
He’s always been interested in Sci-Fi
So get him a trip to the moon
I think it’ll be rather expensive
So make it ‘one way’ and make it soon
Oh, I really don’t know darling daughter
So it’s best that I leave it up to you
Because if I get involved, and get it all wrong
He’ll say ‘Typical, your mother hasn’t a clue’.
