. . . the sweetest dad . . .

. . . we're so lucky 

we've got crafty 

and creative daughters . . .

. . . bless their hearts . . .

. . . they seriously have 

to wrack their brains 

over gifts to give their dad . . .

. . . trust me . . .

. . . he has plenty of pajama pants . . .

. . . from me . . .

. . . that's all i can ever think of 

to get for him! . . .

. . . this fathers day candy bar poster 

they came up with was darling . . .

. . . and very nicely made, 

i might add! . . .

. . . here's the whole thing . . .

. . . now ~ let's break it down . . .

. . . and i'll translate . . .

dad: your runts and grandbabies 

want to take uno momento 

to tell you how much our pop rocks 

you are the "swed"est dad

you're always extra nice 

you're never too cool to act 

like a nerdy airhead

your [tricks] always manage 

to make us snicker 

 thanks for putting up 

with us goobers and duds

and krabby patties 

your life lately has been a sour patch 

you're good at rolling with the punches 

hope you have a great payday 

and take time 

to enjoy the simple pleasures ~ 

you're our lifesaver 

love you to pieces, 

the three musketeers ("amber...aman...amel...

whatchamacallit!")

and mr. goodbar 

(aka golden child)
