Happy Fathers' Day

My radio will not let me have a piece of mind.
My television keeps on telling me today is a great day.

The statuses of my friends keep on reminding me
All social media platforms are disturbing me
Father, the breadwinner of the family
The source of all sauces
The one who teaches me to believe in faith than fate

The one whose absence brings sadness,
And presence makes children flee like a flea, though not scary.

The one who without, you and I wouldn't have been alive

The one whose voice children are afraid most
How can my prolific pen keep on hiding when today is an august day?

Why should I rest when today is Fathers' Day?
Happy Fathers' Day to your dad
Happy Fathers' Day to my dad
Happy Fathers' Day to all dads
All Fathers I must confess are in a pool of delirium
