Daddy Poems
Final Goodnight
by Haych Nano
tonight when i close my eyes
i watch in horror as my father dies.
it's only the truth, i share no lies
lying on my bed my heart cries.
night after night, all i do is lay and weep
a years gone by and still no sleep.
all i ask is a night off from this pain
instead i hit the bottle as my eyes begin to rain.
the room spins as the whiskey takes over
you died an alkie, maybe i should of stayed sober.

The Rules
by Jeffrey Pipes Guice
If you want to meet the girl…
Don’t just stand there and gawk…
You have to learn to talk the talk…
Or you have to walk the walk…
If you dance to the music…
You have to pay the piper…
If you disrespect a farmer’s daughter…
He might sting you like a viper…

No One Cared
by Jeffrey Pipes Guice
I have a hard time at Christmas…
It triggers many memories of old…
Like the time I caught my dad…
‘Just trying on mom’s dress’ as I was told…
He had been drinking the eggnog…
Since sometime earlier in the day…
Then he started singing Broadway show tunes…
Dancing and acting all happy and gay…
