Darling Daddy

The 3rd time daddy received a poem from his latest family addition. So he's got one from Xian when he turned 30, one from Wen when he became 33 and now at 36, he's got one from Wei!

All's fair :) Except for the fact that I never get any poem as a gift. Perhaps when the girls are older one of them will inherit my wordsmith genes...

Darling Daddy
I’m Sook Mei the luckiest little tot
Being the youngest Leonglet of the lot
I’m privileged in many ways
‘Cos you bathe me during weekdays
Plus when you get home from work late
No thanks to school, my cheh-chehs are already in bed
I benefit and get your undivided attention
Since there’s no other competition
Though you were hoping that I’d be a boy
I know I’m still your pride and joy
Now I’d like to brag and boast
And say that you love me the most
But I know you’re a really fair dude
And you treasure us all equally like you should
I love to jump on your tummy
And make you gallop like a wild horsey
That’s our usual morning and bedtime game
No matter if others think it’s lame
But for the great Daddy that you are
There’s one thing that puzzles me by far:
Several times when I needed my calcium snack
And Mummy was unavailable or not back
I tried to drink from you Daddy
And it’s most annoying that you didn’t have any!
You just gave me that look of bemusement
As I seethed in anger and disappointment
You watched me throw my temper and kick a fuss
“No milk? I won’t discuss!”
But you being milk-less isn’t a big problem
‘Cos that’s not in your JD or your main department
Just continue being crazy and funny
My wonderful super darling Daddy
