My son liked sea chanties
And my daughter liked Neil Young\u2019s Harvest album
And Ennio Morricone.
They both liked Tom Waits.
In the limited time I had with them
I crammed all the learning about the finer things
That I could.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Someday in the future their significant others will ask them about me
And they\u2019ll hear a song off of Bob Dylan\u2019s Desire in their heads
Before they respond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whatever they say about me,
They better say I taught them well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
