 Last
Year's Father's
Day Competition Winner
Time
Flies…It's Father's Day Again
Bobby
Weedall
Another year has come and gone and Father's Day appears
The hair a little greyer now those eyes have shed more tears
And wrinkles do no favours as they sit upon your face
The waistline's just a memory now it's sort of out of place
Your chin has almost doubled now like savings in your bank
And sometimes
when
you're
asked
a name
your
memory
then
goes
blank
Then off to bed when not late with cocoa and a book
Just as you did so long ago…but it was me you took
There's no more lying in your bed without a stitch or two
Pyjamas now replacing them in shades of pink and blue
And oh that favourite cardigan the one that you adore
You wore it at the Christmas ball and yes the year before
Your shoes have seen much better days though comfy on your feet
And such a funny shape as well where all those toes do meet
There's bunions just like onions and the corns are big as well
And arches fallen to the floor and they make life your hell
Not long ago my father was the man who had it all
With just a wink and flashing smile the girls they loved it all
His muscles big as mountains they would blush and look away
Esteem was at its highest then when walking out that way
But Father's Day is special too no matter how you look
With furrowed brow and big red hands and all those meals you cook
For time has shaped this world of ours so gorgeous in its way
And that's the way I think of you upon this Father's Day
