Dad

He’s a:

Tall story weaver
Full of fib fever
Bad joke teller
Ten decibel yeller
Baggy clothes wearer
Pocket money bearer
Nightmare banisher
Hurt heart vanisher

Bear Hugger
Biscuit Mugger
Worry squasher
Noisy nosher
Lawn mower
Smile sower

Football mad
Fashion sad
Not half bad
So glad I had
My
Dad!
