There comes
a point 
in every 
wash cloths 
life when 
it becomes 
a rag
it’s then
that its 
purpose turns 
from beauty 
to spill
to waste 

The day like 
the duvet cover 
that you lift
slowly as to
not disturb me 
does to night 
ever so slowly 
slipping quietly in 
but like the 
dark we know 
that sunshine has 
just joined us 
adding its warmth 

Those first few 
sips that warm 
and that remind
me of morning 
are just like 
that one quiet 
moment when you 
turn towards me 
and all of 
the other times 
disappear into this 
like dreams and 
toys once had
and now forgotten 

Fop cavorter
and cad
all while 
being bad
this fun
I have 
always had
happy sad
sometimes rad
but mostly 
a tad
of dear
old dad
