for the day that's in it feel free to share

 

 

Every father’s day

It was father’s day on Sunday and I sat at home,

Praying like most others that I would be left alone,

All year long I hear it said father’s day every day,

Then Whats the fuss on a single day is all I have to say,

Why not ask all fathers what it is they’d like to do,

Most likely ask your mother is what he’ll say to you,

The answer is most different but none the less real,

Nearly all would like a hassle free day not be taken for a meal,

And kids that really think what it means to you,

And a wife with no need to prompt them what to do,

Give no cause for him to worry shows him that you care,

He knows no matter what he will always be right here,

Being the best you can be in all you ever try,

And be honest with your stories never ever lie,

When it comes to all that matter’s he is right there by your side,

And you can always tell it is his best he tried,

As children do we really know what our fathers truly like?

Or is it have a great day dad and then we take a hike,

He doesn’t really mind if you forgot to get a card,

He knows exactly how life can get so hard,

For all you are now doing he has done it once before,

To save you the mishaps he has had and more,

He doesn’t want to sit there and hear his praises aired,

He much would rather that each day you said you cared,

And showed him how much every single day,

By doing well in what you think and all you say,

There is no instruction book to tell him what to do,

It’s all a learning curve in how he tries to help you,

On fathers day it’s not all about a meal and then a drink,

More about how he is and valuing what he thinks’,

So on this day take the time to show him who you really are,

Smile and thank him for helping you get this far,

And know what makes him happy a father like no other,

Are surely all the things that you do for your poor mother?

Every day is father’s day though he will never tell,

Knowing that his children are alive and doing well.

Completely finished

 

No English dictionary can explain the difference between, complete and finished,

Some people say there is no difference and either word cannot be diminished,

Try as I might I have looked in most,

And the amount of time and effort it’s cost,

 

Has my head in such a spin,

Between complete and finished I can’t decide who wins,

Am I finished when I decide that I am done?

Are things complete when it is no longer fun?

 

Things seem confusing when I am near the end,

For on these two words I cannot depend,

I’m beginning to think that final is the thing,

Yet complete and finished have such a nice ring,

 

So I’ve thrown the dictionaries into the thrash,

And decided to explain things simple but harsh,

Here is my take on these similar words to date,

Because on my nerves they are beginning to grate,

 

When you marry the right woman you are thus complete,

And all things in life are then nice and neat,

When you marry the wrong woman then you are surely finished,

And your life will steadily and painfully diminish,

 

But should the right one catch you with the wrong one having fun,

Then you are completely finished and finally done,

But if you don’t start in the first place there’s no end,

Having been caught with the wrong woman you cannot defend,

 

All in all I am still confused,

Right or wrong woman I am completely finished feeling used,

So I should stick with the right woman and be complete,

Because the wrong one will see me finished in defeat,

tribute to the boss

Dear Mr Springsteen,

There were people queuing up to see you since Thursday last,

And the radio station played your songs all day long,

I have listened to your music both the present and the past,

No doubt when you have gone the audience will still be humming along,

There was barbeques in killeely, thomandgate and Moyross,

For those of us who could not gain entry to Thomand park,

Even those we beat on Sunday returned to limerick to see the boss,

Their journey less painful on the road back from cork,

You gave a good account of yourself on the big stage,

I know because I listened from the confines of my front garden,

I heard you sing of love pain hurt joy and rage,

Nice to hear over the years your heart didn’t harden,

I’d like to thank you for giving limerick a much deserved lift,

By choosing to have at least one show in our fair city,

And sharing with us your most enjoyable musical gift,

Unfortunately there are few like you mores the pity,

Just so you know we are so glad that you came,

It was almost like waiting 17 years to win the Munster final,

Things here in limerick will never be quite the same,

The weekend will be recalled as the Bruce Springsteen hurling revival,

Who would have thought that a musician from the states,

Could perform on a small island in the sea,

And then be joined and share both fates,

You have been accepted as a true limerick man and our city is free,

I will finish by saying thank you for visiting your now new home from home,

In the fervent hope we will see you again real soon,

If you’re ever in Ireland come to limerick you will not be alone,

We will show you how we have a drink and whistle up a fair tune,

There will be no need to book out Thomand Park,

Call round to my place and we will relive your concert while dancing in the dark.
