Traces of My Father
Locations
He is known for many things intellect,
Is not one of them, his name is taint
But it suits him well, please keep restraint,
It may not sound bad, but it will linger
In the depths of your sole like a splinter.
Pungent and round he will forever be
His name Gerald, insufferably.
He is countless things; I will tell you all:
“Cowardly, fat, and not exactly tall,
Mean, crude and violent are just the start
Of the many qualities in his heart.”
His highest trouble is stupidity
Which will give him little stability.
His jail cell is his favorite place
He each time leaves a large trace
They always catch him without a chase
Can they always remember his face?
Irresponsible, they let the man free
So again he is a burden on me.
I would lock him up, throw away the key,
If the decision would be my decree.
A thief placing trinkets in his pockets
Claiming he stole them for me, some lockets
Just another of his fatalities
“Don’t tell mommy”, other casualties.
A great guy he could never ever be
Making me cry by just looking at me.
Not once did he ever say “sorry”
Only when it was through his bad cursory.
Sitting on his butt is what he does best
That is why he is ugly, and can’t dress
But it might also be all those,
Horrifying methamphetamines
Giving him all of that stupidity.
The world revolves around the hot sun
As you know, round and round the sun will run
But in his eyes it orbits him only
So he will be forever lonely.
