Doughnuts with Dad
We all went to the bakery
to choose some sticky buns,
a father on a Sunday
with his sticky little sons.
A doughnut or a chocolate roll?
A jam or custard tart?
I had to do a So-Excited-
Happy-Little-Fart.
The people in the queue looked round,
I pointed at Dad’s head.
We came out with our doughnuts.
‘Happy Fathers’ Day,’ I said.
to choose some sticky buns,
a father on a Sunday
with his sticky little sons.
A doughnut or a chocolate roll?
A jam or custard tart?
I had to do a So-Excited-
Happy-Little-Fart.
The people in the queue looked round,
I pointed at Dad’s head.
We came out with our doughnuts.
‘Happy Fathers’ Day,’ I said.
