My father turned 59 today
His future years are on layaway
And I sit by the fire in awe
Wondering “why, oh why do you practice law?”

My father went to work this morn
With a look on his face like he was just born
And I watch from my seat in confusion
“Is his tie real or is it an illusion?”

Oh my mind draws a blank
When it comes to my birth
And all I know is that I was put here on this earth
Thanks dad

My father came home from the ranch this afternoon
Somehow he’ll be reading about Gandhi soon
And I sit with my guitar with all my questions
I ask “dad can you teach me some life lessons?”

Oh my mind draws a blank
When it comes to my birth
And all I know is that I was put here on this earth
Thanks dad

He walks in a room
With his mind sharp
He speaks smoothly like a just-tuned harp
Just like Noah with that ark
On his wall lies a stuffed hammer head shark

My father turned 59 today
His future years are on layaway
And I sit by the chess board in extreme awe
“Kev, take your number”
“Okay pa”

Oh my mind draws a blank
When it comes to my birth
And all I know is that I was put here on this earth
Thanks dad

Take your number
