For my dad who puts up with my ridiculousness:

Dad, I know I owe you a lot,
Appreciation is never what you sought.
You drove me to soccer, you drove me to school.
You paid for my stitches when I fell off that bar stool.
You pick up my pieces,
Co-sign my subleases,
I'm sure without you, I'd be with the polices.

For my dad, the handyman:

Roses are red,
Chlorine is blue.
Thanks for keeping the pool clean.
I really appreciate it.

For my dad, the sports and pop culture connoisseur:


I love that you watch the Real Housewives
And that you love King of Queens
Those are my favorite shows, too
It's clear I'm of your genes.

We differ though when it comes to sports
I couldn't care less about the Redskins
Honestly, can't we watch the Housewives?
It's the one when Ramona takes on Jill Zarin!

Fine, fine, no no,
We can watch football.
But these nachos and sodas
Are going to be our downfall.

I don't care if you don't want to exercise,
It's for your own good.
We made it together this far,
I need you around for my adulthood.
