You'll always be
the bright star
in my life.
You taught me to
hang in there
and follow my dreams,
even during those tough
times when I felt like
I'd been fried by
a bug zapper.
I'm thankful for that
and for so much more,
but there's not enough
space on this greeting
to get any mushier.
So I can only say
that I hope this Father's Day
is a great one.

Zappy Father's Day!
And stay away from the bug zappers.
