The Astute Dad (Limerick)
The Astute Dad (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
A dad who was very astute
Always yearned for good Father’s Day loot,
But for decades got ties
That were hard on the eyes.
He exchanged forty ties for a suit.

A dad who was very astute
Knew well that the beans led him to toot
Each time they were plated
We all sat and patiently waited
For his train story with a loud sound effect BLOOOOOT
A dad who was very astute
Knew his kids thought him now oh so “cute”
A former tough guy
This he just could not buy
Held BB rifle in air shouting- “One more cute and I swear I will shoot!”
A dad who was very astute
Knew it was time to give his grown kids the boot
When they approached with a gift
Gently declined and offered a lift
First month’s rent and some start-up loot
A dad who was very astute
Looked into his daughter’s eyes cute
What do you want dear
I can tell it is near
My love, my advice, all ‘cepting my loot
A dad who was very astute
Noticed his son’s tightened glute
Knew he was keeping
A time-bomb a beeping
Hand on shoulder said “no use keeping mute”
now there is a thought…saving them up to trade in…smiles…haha..i hope all the fathers in your life have a wonderful day!
A dad who was very astute,
Took a pull on his Dads’ Day cheroot.
For today, he’d risk cancer
And enjoy the lap dancer
His kids knew he’d find kind of cute.
