It happened only yesterday, (so it seems)
A young man came upon
My porch to get permission,
To take my daughter to the prom.

I told this boy I'm sorry,
I wouldn't loan him my old Ford,
Much less my baby daughter
Not even to the store.

My reasoning is simple,
Why I'd submit to neither,
When I was young and rowdy,
I might throw a rod in either!

But if you can get by my son
(My baby daughter's brother)
And then get past his puppies
You can have her and her mother!

Hah! That puny son of yours wouldn't bother me...neither would that harmless pooch. What would scare me would be having you for a father-in-law!!!! (even for one as beautiful as yore daughter).


Great pics, by the way. You have a terrific looking son and daughter. I'm assuming they're adopted?

Wow!  You can count me out from visiting!  I think anything bigger than mine is huge!  Those are humongous!

By golly Toe your wife and daughter will be safe for sure while you have those pooches.

They are a lot better than having a burglar alarm. Great pictures and words. Loved it.

Oh, what good days I've had meeting the parents of girlfriends. Knowing me, and being propositioned that-

My only reply would be a smirk and 'That's a deal.'

Yo, Toe! You sure do grow 'em big out your way. I think I'd just have second thoughts crossing the yard with all those dog-bombs. Talk about your anti-personel devices. Come to think about it, I've got two teenage daughters... perhaps I could borrow those pooches and that hulk of a son of yours a time or two. Great looking family you got there. Peace!

You have a lovely daughter. I wouldn't loan her either. Also great dogs. I like this poem.
