A mate of mine (Craig) who's a dad, texted this (after the dotted line below) through to me after we were talking about the importance of real dad's who can even give (& take) a joke as a model for us in copying the one "from whom all fatherhood in heaven & on earth is derived"
......................................................................
I stayed up all night thinking of dad jokes and wondered where the sun had gone
Then it dawned on me.
......................................................................
Si, then helped me to see
from his experience,
that it helps if there be
tags to aid hear-i-ance
of a Dad-Joke by "kids"
even just to sign-post
that there has been some bids
to birth one, or play host
to a Dad-Joke, just now;
to help them roll their eyes,
be embarrassed somehow,
or even show surprise
that the old man is not
a dunderhead, but "skilled"
(if not quite a hot-shot)
- that some-how it's been billed
as an attempt to serve,
to aid, to even fight,
to comment on our nerve,
or help us (choose what's right)...
Trevor commented that
for him it's more stories -
embarrassing or fact
that somehow act as "breeze"...
Breeze that blows between trees
or solid things in life,
helps take a breath, bring ease,
ameli'rate the strife.
