i guess its the thought that counts, but it seems kinda cheap to get other people to write poems for your dad when really they would mean more if YOU wrote them.

I am going to write some, but I also want some poems from people here on AP and thought it would make a nice contest. I cannot believe you have judged me for running a contest like this. I have also successfully ran a contest for my husbands birthday and he loved the book I presented him with. Ah well each to his own.
