D's For Daddy
D's for Daddy driving drunk
(he dodged dry, sober ways).
Still, certain drugs were his first choice,
mid-aged through Dylan’s days.
Pop passed the bar when Twenty-three,
then conquered City Halls.
Mom said that "tales of their young love"
were carved on County walls.
One tainted night with teary sight,
Dad met his Waterloo.
Although a child, I was so sad;
he left at Forty-two.
I heard Ma cry that night he went,
faced down on our front lawn.
Damned drugs deal desperate dreams to tots;
my daddy died near dawn.
(he dodged dry, sober ways).
Still, certain drugs were his first choice,
mid-aged through Dylan’s days.
Pop passed the bar when Twenty-three,
then conquered City Halls.
Mom said that "tales of their young love"
were carved on County walls.
One tainted night with teary sight,
Dad met his Waterloo.
Although a child, I was so sad;
he left at Forty-two.
I heard Ma cry that night he went,
faced down on our front lawn.
Damned drugs deal desperate dreams to tots;
my daddy died near dawn.
