Who's Your Daddy?

There's a thousand things I could say about my Dad. But in true Danielle-ian fashion, I've decided to honor my dear patriarch, I've decided to write it out in poetic form:

An Ode to My Father

My dad is a peach,

my dad is a king,

We talk about any and ev'rything!

He checks on me at night

even though I'm far away

and sends me stuff

though it isn't my birthday

He knows quite a lot,
and he never forgets;

He's up to date on

Lawrence Welk's greatest hits!

Bus drivers love him;

he knows them all by name.

He's a very proud father of

Five tiny dames.

He loves little Earnie,

my Mom's tiny pup.

and when Morning Moo is gone,

He mixes more up!

When his son left for a mission

he couldn't help but smile;

he pounced on unsuspecting missionaries

in the produce aisle.

He speaks with great flair,

has a stentorian voice.

He loves jazzy show tunes

and really hates noise.

Ebenezer is his hero,

of Oscar he's a fan

but we all know he's a softie;

He's a very gentle sort of man.

He's a friendly neighbor,

takes a strong political stance.

He makes himself memorable

by wearing highwater pants.

He knows Church History

from beginning to end,

but most importantly,

My Dad is my friend.

Happy Birthday, DAID!
