POLITICAL Poem: Inspiring Fathers, by Lousy Juggler

Dad?
Yes, son?
Can I ask you a question?
Of course.

Today, the teacher scolded me for
making fun of Judy’s stutter.
Well, I guess she is saying you shouldn’t do that.

Have you ever eaten a banana with peanut butter on it?
I think so. When I was younger.
We tried that during recess today and I loved it.

When do you think I will be old enough
to go camping on my own?
Do you want to go camping all by yourself?
Maybe. I was just wondering.

What is bankruptcy?
When a business fails.
Our math teacher said it and I never heard that word before.
Have you ever been bankruptcy?
Bankrupt. No, decent people pay their debts.

When you first met mom, did you
move on her like a bitch and grab her by the pussy?
What?
I heard the TV and you laughed so loud I thought
that was how you first met mom.
Don’t ever say that again, you hear me?

We made cardboard clocks in school this week.
Did you ever do that?
I’m not sure.
