A Father and Son.

Once, years and lives ago, when my son was young

He came to me and spake: "Father, what is love?"

I said, "My son, love is all around us and within,

"Love is you and love is I, the air we breathe,"

"The old oak tree outside and the dirt beneath our toes"

"Love is everywhere and everyone and everything and more."

When my son came of age, he wed the old oak tree

Which was not what I meant

My son is an idiot
