Whenever I’m in search of feed,
a deviled egg is all I need.
This worries me, because I fear
it’s angeled eggs I should revere.

the energy, just you and me (us…we),
begetting child-free memories to own.

A dad is an anchor when things go quite wrong
and a fan club when things go quite right.
He’s there to protect you when you’re super scared
of those things that go “bump” in the night.

Lift me up when I’m earthbound.
When in doubt, just take a chance and
swing this partner round and round.
