“Dad, tell me about Grandpa Jones?”

“Thomas, I do not wish

to indulge in history

which I find repugnant

and exceedingly unpleasant.”

“Okay, he was unpleasant at the funeral,

but he is your Dad.”

“Cease this aimless dialogue.

Memory and emotion combined

make for poor digestion, and

I can smell your Mother’s cooking.”

“How’s your bottle top collection, Dad?”

“Bountiful in the extreme Thomas.

It is a pleasure to behold.”
