Summary: This piece is part of a quartet series called HiPapa Days.
DAD DAYS ARE EVERGREENS- Any day the nature of the piece fits the news of the day or the tune of the times.
Better part of valor. In Deed! Same thing my old man told me. Then at 90, slipped and fell on his "noggin"; lost that brave, heroic discretion..."built a fire on Main St.- 'an then he shot it full of holes" Told the old lady first, then any and everyone else to go fuck-off. Sure didn't seem appropriate to tell Pop not to gogently into that Good Night. Last time I saw him: he was like Ferdinand the Bull- mad as the bees that stung him. I wonder bout "a las quatro en punto!" Will St. Peter be wearin the "trajo de luces"? Is there really a gran corrida, or any alla, ariba. Pop never even wondered out loud or answered me about it. So far God won't either. I remember him saying he drank water with a meal, for digestion. I never forgot that; and so I followed suit; then he always denied that he told me that. My mother always told me not to be someone, "some boob" with more dollars than sense. I heard cents, or scents. I pick up pennies and don't shower much, and I been broke most all my life.
Pop's gone now and Mom's Mom and been gone...as only she can be both.
Stay tuned for 4th of July peg: Libertyville, U.S.A.

Aw, You know Dad, I never saw ya' cry (or heard ya' prey).
