My Dad Thinks He's A Poet

My dad thinks he's a poet;
It's funny as can be.
He spends his time making rhymes,
Then pawns them off on me.

He's good at poem concepts -
That's certainly his thing.
A few fine lines in a flash of time:
He makes those words just sing!

"Once you have a good idea,"
He says, "It's easy to go from there."
I completely agree that it is key
To craft those thoughts with care.

When we are eating donuts,
Or even riding bikes,
He declares phrases, then says, "I'd say this
If I was the type who writes."

It's fun to find little rhymes and thoughts
In things you wouldn't think.
It makes you see it all in a whole new way:
Eyes wide, not wanting to blink!
