Damsel in distress

Heartbroken lass bereft of eminent beau

papa doth vicariously experience her

(mine daughter's) grievous woe.

 

Unfair a budding promising relationship nought

going to incorporate wedded bliss,

when for all the world

the strong humble lad

absconded to Puerto Rican his homeland.

 

Thus pained University

of Pennsylvania alumna

("star student") since grade one

at Belmont Hills Elementary

whose high school alma mater

i.e. Harriton High School,

now glum Oakland California transplant.

 

I (biological father),

who helped beget offspring

writhes with agony,

cuz he and the missus

sowed wild oats

during prime time,

when irresistible call of the wild

overtook wisdom to shuck contraceptive

yielding the miracle of life.

 

Parenthood never ended

just because declaration of independence

and autonomy witnessed natural propensity

for progeny to reliant become on self

forced shoulder living expense

no only for herself,

but deux darling

tortoiseshell dappled

 

five month old kittens

most certainly a constant reminder,

when she and he "two peas in a pod"

shared so many college campus memories,

whereby appearances hinted

and predicted a shared destiny

between two love birds.

 

An abrupt cleavage

rent asunder never witnessing

mutual graceful dotage

figuratively saddled once ebullient psyche

unnecessarily bogged our engineering minded lady

with cumbersome equipage

after they spent precious

young adulthood years together

 

emulating how married couple live, I gauge

such scenario, cuz talk of wedding bells

filled the (telephonic) airwaves,

whereby yours truly feeling blessed

potential prodigal son in law

his earning hand over fist big bucks

employed at Silicon Valley company

geared toward marketing fitness application.

 

Unsure how said high achiever

bolstered with you go girl refrain,

(who ofttimes communicated with Zayda,
i.e. his demise a crushing sorrow),

which inevitable prolonged decline

 

sundered special rapport

since more'n threescore

Earth orbits around the sun

papa acquired mechanical engineer degree

working within Aerospace Division

at General Electric.

 

Impossible mission not to care
despite mein kampf punctuated

with mine wanderlust flair

marital covenant garden variety

wordsmith did greatly impair

triggering hostility within mine humble lair

adulterer letter forcibly donned as outerwear.
