To Be Your Dad

I met you quite some time ago,

You might remember that.

A message somehow came my way,

An accidental chat.

I asked if it was meant for me

And you were quite demure.

A blushing explanation came,

Repairing furniture?

It seems that you had lost a piece,

Attachment held at bay.

You sputtered just a tiny bit

O’er what you had to say.

You needed one was what you said,

It had to be just right.

So John might have just what you need,

Perhaps that very night.

So what I think I’ll say right here,

Since you were really bad,

Is that you need someone like me

To be your dear old dad!

    You got it! This was so cute ... hilarious really and I'm surprised you remember although it is not something I'll ever forget ... My introduction to the site as a whole I think. Thanks to you, a happy one. I'm glad to have you as my AP dad, but also need an English professor lol. Thanks for noticing the contest and for entering.
