Pater Familias Paraphernalia
Pater familias paraphernalia
Is a problem in our house:
Dad likes to save mementos:
Mom likes to throw them out!
Everyone’s got his “thing” to do:
Some like to work, some like to chew
And don’t know just what to do.
We, each, have a plan;
Can’t just sit, (You understand!):
Some like to write, some like to clean:
Others just like to be mean.
Each must chart out his day
With chores and a bit of play.
I try to be as good as I can be,
Walk in His way to stay happy,
So it’s to my poetry I withdraw,
Write about wickedness and the Law.
(Plenty of sin in each and every day.
Confess and repent! It’s the only way.)
But I like to save that “junk”;
Just got to get us a real big trunk!
Got to stay busy or get dusty.
Invigorate or you’ll get rusty.
