Bishoo and his son, stack the tree

A cuff for mirth, a tear for shame,
In the corner he stands, that subtle
Joke slipped past him.

Imagine an uneventful gathering,
Barely understood, the son broods,
Rages and shuts the door.

That subtle courtesy, an agreement
Of academia so forced, and strained,
So compulsory and natural.

The son, he slipped into sarcasm,
A seditious distaste for everything

Caram with Father
Date: Saturday, 1st January 2005 @ 09:02:03 AM AEST
Topic: Sad Poetry

Contributed By: rpnsk
Slow beginnings, slower ends,
Bishoo and his son, stack the tree
With counters, race to red.

A cuff for mirth, a tear for shame,
In the corner he stands, that subtle
Joke slipped past him.

Imagine an uneventful gathering,
Barely understood, the son broods,
Rages and shuts the door.

That subtle courtesy, an agreement
Of academia so forced, and strained,
So compulsory and natural.

The son, he slipped into sarcasm,
A seditious distaste for everything
Bishoo.
