MY DAD

Folder: 
Memories of Youth

My dad could make laugh.

With just his smile

Or perhaps a joke,

All the while

He was drinking

Vodka in his

Coke.



It was fun

I laughed a lot

Whether it was funny,

Whether it was not.

But all the while

He talked to me,

I felt a sense of love.



My dad’s long gone

Of whom I love most dear

He died some while ago.

So I now sip,

That dreaded brew.

And while I laugh and smile,

So does my little boy aged two.


Author's Notes/Comments: 

a slight untruth. My dad was a Bacardi or Dark Rum drinker.
It's me that likes Vodka.
