Poems - Backfiring Big Time

Backfiring Big Time

by liarbird

Me good old mate Henry Hawkins
is prankster intent through and through,
he’ll play those silly practical jokes
on the likes of both me and on you.
But I don’t think that he ever thought,
one alone could give him such remorse,
when a trick he played on his daughter,
gave Henry the grounds for divorce.

This night I called in on old Henry,
for there’s fish that we need to chase.
He was home alone with his daughter.
His wife was at her girlfriend’s place.
And while we discussed our fishing trip,
his daughter said to me “Hey mister,
you have got two little girls at home,
I do wish that I had a sister.”

Then Henry could not help himself,
he expressed a prank that’s untrue.
“My darling you do have a sister.”
And wide eyed she answered “I do.”
“That’s right” Henry uttered and grinned,
with his practical joking once more,
“Each time you come in through the front,
your sister scoots out the back door.”

I just could not help shaking me head.
Now his poor little daughters confused,
and so she goes looking for answers,
in the truth that fool Henry misused.
But then innocence brought out the truth,
and a scandal was quickly abuzz,
when comparing her sister by asking,
“Do you mean like my other dad does?”

Woo-wee, that branch didn't fall too far from the tree, eh Lindsay! So funny; dad will have to step it up a bit just to keep up with his quick thinking daughter! Thanks for great giggles this morning, Mary Ann
