Fathers Talking
Fathers talking
When did it happen
Try my books www.amazon.com/author/richardratliff
I don't know how it happened
Really my friend, I don't know
I had to stop and get diapers
You were just supposed to pick her up
You know, at daycare on the way home
Has it happened to you before?
Perhaps returning from brownies
You too? Were you
Going to softball, or soccer practice?
Playing catch
I know, I know, I was coming
From the junior high fundraiser
Well I'm confused, I was
Saying "easy, easy on the breaks!"
Nice to met you
Be back by eleven
Come guys come on
How did this happen
Only yesterday
I had to pay tuition
So he ask for what?
Her hand, quaint
A tear
Now I'm at the bar
Paying for everyone's drinks
