At the Dance Competition
For much of today I have stood pretty
much as a Dad should and held
onto all their hopes and jackets.
I have bought raffle tickets
and a grey fleece I didn't need,
to help the cause.
Now I shall take my fleshed bones home,
open a beer, maybe relax with a book,
and a chair.
Fatherhood is oddly good.
You could not pay me
to have hair again.
