An Old Man’s Life’s Values

“Did you do your chores, Tommy?”

“Yes, Dad.”

“Did you do your homework?”

“Yes, Dad.”

“Did you wash my car?”

“Yes, Dad.”

“Did you do all the other things I

told you to do that I can’t remember,

but I will later, and you jolly well

better have done them?”

“Yes, Dad.”

“Good boy….now get down on all fours,

I want to use you as a footstool.”

Random note: I think I’ll watch

“Starship Troopers” again.

(the first one, not the sequels,

which, being kind, are crap.

And, remember, children, everyone 

has got to be somewhere.
