Dads On Trains

Raising boys
To be like you
Is a mistake

So many things
Are wrong with this plan
Firstly, you are curt

Secondly, you groan
Some things need strong mothers
Like boys and dogs and pigs

There is no way to know
What the end result will be
But I have a bad feeling

Have you ever scrubbed a tub?
I can see you forgot to shave
Just the first of many problems

I don't mean to judge you on looks
But you showed your boys that gross photo
The ball player's bone exposed through skin

Judging on that alone, I'm wary
There is nothing that wrong with it, I guess
But your laugh played down pain that isn't yours
