My dad, my good old dad
I liked that he went swimming about 3 mornings a week
And he made appointments with the doctor and dentist to make sure that he was in good nick
Also he went for walks in and around the streets on his suburb
And the other suburbs
He went to Sydney a few times with mum, where they had a wonderful time
As far as eating goes
He never piled his plate with food
I don’t think he liked desserts that much but if he ate it he would eat slowly
He went out the back and
Did his exercises which kept him fit
He went to the Belconnen mall with his mates from teaching
And the kids treated him like
One of the other students in a way
He liked to play war games
But he hardly got addicted
The computer was his favourite thing
He said computers will take over from television one day
He liked some treats like a box
Of roses chocolates he only had one or two a day I mean one simple chocolate not the whole box
He had a claret with his meal
Only one glass
At the club he will have a beer
Not like a ***** though
You know how if you go to the club and you see senior citizens
Having a meal together
That was mum and dad
He liked cricket and loved science fiction
He showed me how to look at the football scores on my iPhone he was great
He had a heart problem but
That never stopped him
He was a very good father
And grandfather and i loved him
He didn’t like gardening but he dug the weeds out of the cracks in the cement he saw the google maps people one day and said
He was actually working
He was thin, he kept himself regular, so why did he die in the pool at the age of 76, maybe his next life wanted him to unleash his kid
