*NO LONGER POSTING AS GETTING ERROR MESSAGE*
.
When his dad tells the same joke
for the hundredth time,
he groans, wishing he wouldn't.
So embarrassing, heard them all before
and not very funny the first time.
When he brings his new girlfriend home
his dad reels off his naff jokes
revelling in the new audience,
he apologises to his girl.
I think he's funny, she says.
His dad jokes about the hospital and the doctors
You have to laugh, don't you?
He calls it gallows humour
but for his son it's another bad dad-joke
and in awfully bad taste.
After the funeral service
he raises a glass of whiskey
realising that he would give anything
to hear one of his dad's jokes one more time.
And I'll laugh this time, he says, I promise.

Then sometimes we become our dads.
Yes, we sure do. And you can't beat a dad joke. 🙂
Funny. Nicely Done
