I rooted thru poetry anthology of mine,

and came across an unpublished poem

by one obscure poet (me), whose trademark

wit and wisdom hallmark

since none of my two (both

twenty something aged) darling daughters

Courtesy brainchild of dear old dad

(actually when alive

and in his prime, he happened to be spunky

as an overgrown lad),

(she also when young, his junior by a tad)

both agreed their quiet natured son

This accidental arsonist sparked following matchless anecdote

linkedin with tacit approval of parents

(both long gone to the smoky afterlife),

and donned wizard trumpeting magic spells

while dark and stormy night

which usher nostalgic memories

encapsulated within the following poem

initially drafted quite some years ago.

Both parents possessed pedigreed panache

As a young whippersnapper

I did shirk maintaining bond

Boyhood of mine chock full of memories
