With Trump I have learned
Opposite meditation
Deep breath. SCREAM. Deep breath.

June 2 (Saturday)
The heart soars with love
… As son snacks me in the face
… While shouting nonsense

Kid’s first trip to pool!
What fun, huh?! Please? Darling? Fun?

Restaurant idea
‘Everything Tastes Like Chicken’

Invited to lunch
“I’m trying to save money”
Offered coupon … What.

June 6 (Wednesday)
It’s Wednesday, right guys?
More like … When’s this day over!
(I apologize)

Kid wants to stand. NOW.
Seems to move in slow motion …
Falls at super speed

Old men and babies
They walk leading with their guts
And love being nude

Cutting last night time feeding
No milk here, buddy

Dad handled night time
Mom and kid woke up early
And got doughnuts. Score.

The kid was cough-y
So now dad needs some coffee!
… Lord I’m so tired

Even if it’s one am
Which is, frankly, nuts

Two bad bugs are found
In cliché coding fashion
It’s last day of tests

Star Wars fans are too whiny
They’re movies. Enjoy.

Happy Father’s Day
One whole parent, one tenth the
Expectations. DADS!

June 18 (Monday)
Wore new socks today
They’re polka dot, but instead
Of dots … It’s son’s face

June 19 (Tuesday)
Hi gross leftovers.
Yes you’re bland and kinda gross
But I’m cheap. So there.

June 20 (Wednesday)
It’s not a good thing
When reading the news makes you
Want to cry or scream

Pres playing a game
It’s him against common sense
Everyone’s losing

So, convertibles …
Think first one was a mistake?
“Ohhhhhh shoot … Eh, ship it.”

First haircut today
Old man hairs hung over ears
Are no more – bye friends

June 24 (Sunday)
My watch tracks my steps
And tells me trends like, ‘Sundays:
‘Did your legs fall off?’

Boss’s boss in town
Effort to dress to impress:
Wore my nicest shorts

If World Cup was real
What kind of cup would it be?
Probably sippy

The alarm clock on my phone
Has felt neglected

A RARE AND WONDERFUL TREAT!

To do list and I
Have an odd relationship
There’s love and loathing

Wife cancels most of her work
Tending to sick babe

Love the cuddles, hate the woes
But! Getting better!

His smile warms my heart

Went to a clinic
Come on drugs, work your magic!
RID ME OF THIS COLD!

Would I like tea more
If I didn’t just drink it
When my throat feels off?

‘Well, er, ah … Ahem’ (smiles)
‘This is rather … Ah …’

Most useless thing on my phone
Thanks dear son of mine

Comically bad luck
Just about done with chest cough
Then injure myself

Stores full of dad’s just staring
Hope gifts talk: ‘pick me!’

But still! I’ll count it!

Fancy pants is way too vague
Need well-defined pants

Sudden trip up north
Wife’s grandma’s not doing well
Going to say goodbye

Big, innocent eyes of kid
Help to lift spirits

Wife’s grandma gone now
Tears, memories, and snacking
Day spent at Grandma’s

Flying home today
Kid napped on me one hour
Brings me joy (and aches)

Wife and kid both sick
And my mom is coming by
To see babe, catch cold

Kiddo doubled down
Said, ‘why one ear infection …
‘when you can have two!?!’

“The world’s worst dentist”
My son’s tiny, strong hands try
To rip off my jaw

See if you can exchange them
I mean, gross, they’re bruised

Long to do list and big dreams

Here are all the things to do
Some other weekend

Lost in the charcoal
Is today’s somber purpose.
Humble thanks offered.

Daily ritual:
Kiddo does something; heart melts;
Re-forms with more love

It’s a short drive there, and yet …
Kid poops half the time

Time to establish my creep vibe:
‘Hi youths, be my friend’
