For my Father....

Saxon Crow

2-1a score of joy

2-1 the man's no longer a boy

2-1 not meaning to gloat

2-1 but i finally beat the old goat

2-1 the greatest score 

2-1 he won't want to play anymore

2-1 father you know it just happened 

2-1 after 35yrs I beat you at backgammon!

    Well you are getting older yourself and I did not want to see you cry again at your age, I am ok with that as I am an old age perisher.

    Daddy.

      I'll take that. A wins a win

    • dusk arising

      OK now put those L plates away and stop playing 'the beginner'.

      • Saxon Crow

        I've given it to my daddy. L for loser!

        • Goldfinch60

          It took a great deal of training from me to LET him win for a change.
          Wait until today all will be different.

            Good write SC.
            I never did re-start learning backgammon! Doh!

            • Saxon Crow

              It's only my dad I play with sadly. So enjoy it tremendously when we do get together

              • Goldfinch60

                So true SC the enjoyment is wonderful.

                I’ve never played backgammon, but I love the banter here in your poem!

                • Saxon Crow

                  Thanks Sherbs. It's been a long standing thing between my dad and me. I could also talk about the time I thrashed him at croquet!

                  • Sherbs

                    Lol never played that either… I don’t get out much 😂 but it sounds like you have a wonderful relationship with your father!

                    • Saxon Crow

                      Yeah it's pretty good thanks. We are very much alike.

                    • SureshG

                      I’m just happy for this lighthearted piece.
