WHEN FATHER WENT TO WAR

When Father went to war

                     The tanks came rolling

                                           Down from his mouth 

                                                            With a mission to turn

 Good relationships sour.

                                    The tanks were reinforced by
                     
                                                                 A battalion of foot soldiers
 
                                                                                          Who fortified his ear drums
 
Stopping the ugly truth attack.

                                                       And when the war was won
 
                                                                                                          Father didn’t celebrate.

He cried.
