Dad’s messages are coming for Andy for long
With, can I say “an erratic regularity”
Not in the cryptic newgen short scripts,
But in long drawn lucid prose, down to the T
For Andy ‘with love from both Mom and Dad

Around 2019 Christmas, dad wrote about a  $200 contributed to a charity in honor of Andy
A gift wrapped with all love and wishes
For a Merry Christmas to Andy

Next March, dad asked Andy whether he is watching the spike in Apple share price
A sound investment tip from dad to his son

The next message from Dad took long
He was checking whether Andy
Was watching the funeral of Prince Philip

Over these years and through those messages
I have been writing to Dad that I am not Andy
And I have been keeping the phone for long

Dad never responded to my messages
But the irregular messages for Andy
Keep popping up

To the last one on funeral
I sent a long reply sharing my name and all relevant details
Proving I am not dad’s Andy
I got a response “sorry, dad”
Sorry too signed off by DAD!

Today, after 8 months
Again I got a message  
Along a beautiful countryside sunrise photograph:
“Beautiful morning, looking east. Dad”

Andy replied “so true, beautiful. I love this morning”
