Dad Boxers
Abigail vesely 2003 (Grass valley)
Strangely cute
2nd best to his birthday suit
My mind falters
Dad boxers
A sight i vividly recollect
Something I didn’t expect
An unusual fondness
A demeanor lacking pompous
Aura of humble
Only a faint scent of trouble
He wasn’t trying to put on a show
Little did i know, i’d never want to let go
Dad boxers
A view almost as rare as flying saucers
A small nudge towards a decision
Of a path longer than long division
Once through a sea of mean i did roam
But no lore for i have found a man
Who feels like home.
