A Note, in the style of Dr. Seuss.

Mad at Dad.

Dad, I’m mad.

You’ve been bad

And it’s made me sad.

Cowichan Bay

Took you away.

Your condo is shite

and I cry every night.

Because I don’t want to go

And blow a lot of dough

To sit and not talk

And watch the clock.

I am a bad kid.

I ran and hid

When you phoned me to see

What was up with me.

Because I don’t want to say,

You drove me away.

And I don’t want to yell,

As I’ll go to hell.

But, Dad, you’ve been bad,

And I’m mad.

    I’m sorry that you are feeling shitty and angry and complicated about your Dad. I know how it is.

    But I have to say, this poem kicked ass.

    Heh, thanks. Seuss wouldn’t have rated it as much but since I’m not yet up to being able to form coherent complaints (You know, with supported reasoning and a lack of crying) I think this is a big step forward.
