Though thine
two grown
former babes
in crib age,
now lead
checkered lives,
no longer
monopolize my time
as though
their persons
went backstage
either one
embracing, judging,
and
negotiating positive
chutes and ladders
with courage
evoking glee
this papa
helped both
beautiful lasses
avoid being
risk averse
navigating life
with minimal damage
though to get
ahead of
the class,
(asper the
eldest Eden Liat)
credit karma
fairly and
squarely attributed
to herself
with encourage
meant from
this papa,
who oft time
felt he
lacked any clue
akin to
a hobbled
battleship left
to drift
at sea, whence,
upon land
fall sub
sequent lee
forced to forage
in a foreign
dominion (akin
to being
among Settlers
of Catan),
plus devoid
of instruments
to gauge,
an optimal
strategic operation,
thus figuratively
groping in
the dark
(unaware of
a brewing twister)
guided by
blind faith
doth admit
saying sorry,
but
apologetic homage
would dis
qualify thyself,
a "FAKE" mastermind
undeserving of
just desserts,
unfairly via
diktat plucking
sweet treats
awash within
Candy Land,
a deceptive image
entrancing, luring
and, spellbinding
ultimately
incurring trouble,
particularly when
Shana Aubrey
(younger by about
twenty six months)
garnered lion's
share of
parental attention
necessitated
mandatory intervention
due to language
skills, plus pronounced
develop
mental delay,
where supreme
social service
sages
gentle massage
wrought
divine prestidigitation
as one
after another
case worker
did overencourage
to counter
act congenital
cognitive setback
(coalesced in utero),
now finds
das dada envious
(cuz, aye got
mired, hogtied,
and bogged
down with
obsessive compulsive
trivial pursuit,
hence warrant
so lucky as
thee Punim)
steers ship
shape body electric
round her un
charted cerebral
cape of
good hope passage.
