Musings of An Old Man

by Brian K. Moore

SHE CALLS ME DADDY

MY LITTLE MARGIE, AS A TOT,
CALLED ME DADDY QUITE A LOT

MY GROWING MARGIE, AS A TEEN,
CALLED ME DADDY IN BETWEEN

MY ADULT MARGIE, FULLY GROWN,
CALLED ME DADDY ON HER OWN

MY MATURE MARGIE, A RETIRED DAME,
STILL CALLS ME DADDY, THAT’S MY NAME
