Recovering From The Shock.

I am still recovering,

Recovering from the shock.

My son came up for the weekend,

A great time we had together.

But I am still recovering,

Recovering from the shock.

We went out to dinner,

Enjoying more time together

With each other,

And that wonderful Italian food.

But I am still recovering,

Recovering from the shock.

We finished our meal,

The bill was called for

And set in front of us.

But I am still recovering,

Recovering from the shock.

He, my son, picked up the bill,

He paid for it!

Never in our history has he paid.

But I am still recovering,

Recovering from the shock.

I am still waiting for that first pint

Bought by him for me.

I’ve only been waiting twenty five years

Since he reached that age

Where he could buy me a pint.

But on this occasion he paid.

Paid for the dinner.

And I am still recovering,

Recovering from the shock.
