Dad with his finical demands
always followed by silly repremands
of what was not but should have been done
like shaking icy trees, or scraping of soap scum
or maybe shoveling the back yard or putting dirt in a barrel
by me, my brother, my sisters christy and carol
never making complete sense to my cerreberal mind
but knowing refusal would not only be dumb but unkind
his enginuity was something to admire
like a parenting consultant for hire
always creating new ways to teach or punish
I am now well versed and prepared to admonish
finical \FIN-ih-kuhl\, adjective:
Extremely or unduly particular in standards or taste; fastidious; finicky.
