Looney Tooney for Popperoony

Here it is Father's Day (or maybe Fathers' Day--one is never sure where the apostrophe should go). But yes, this is the day on which we salute male parents, and some of us have been bemoaning the sad state of greeting card verse. So, we have assigned the task of composing suitable Father's Day greetings to our Doggerel Department. Let's see what they scan for the old man.

All us kids are really happy
That we can call you dear old Pappy.

Hmm.

We're glad you took the time and bother
To take the job of being Father.

Seriously, guy, we wouldn't swap
You for any other Pop.

I do not wish to be supercilious
Or write verse sure to make you bilious;
Instead I wish to be punctilious
And say, hail to you, Paterfamilias.

And finally--

Really neat that you're our Pa
But remember--you couldn'ta done it without Ma.
