Fathers Know How To : Narrative Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

 

 

My Father gave me a clue .

Of know how

and how to do ,

 

The things that needing fixing .

 

He helped me get a look in .

 

Mending a fuse in the box .

 

Installing latches and locks .

 

Mixing up bags of concrete ,

 

for laying under the feet .

 

Tiling and paving the yard .

 

Digging where the ground was hard .

 

Knocking a hole here and there .

 

Making sure the job was square .

 

Sawing and hammering nails .

 

Assembling posts and rails .

 

Using tools that screwed and gripped.

 

Finding what it was that dripped ,


under the house we would crawl, 


along the side of the wall ,

where the leaking pipe was found ,

hidden well under the ground .

 

We got lots of projects done .

 

Working with my Dad was fun .
