POEM: WHEN THREE MEN MEET

Oliver, of what use is the celebration of "FATHER'S DAY"?
Do you want me to answer that question?
Oliver, if I didn't, i wouldn't have asked
Of what relevance is the celebration of "MOTHER'S DAY"?


Mothers are indispensable and responsible
Can't the same be said of fathers?
Look at how some men behave irresponsible towards their children
That is a trite and an appeal to pity which you don't deserve.


I heard a father abandon his family for another.
I heard a mother kill her husband and lie to the world
Oliver, fathers are liars, cheats and uncaring.
Can I say all ladies are gossip, liars and indecisive?


Oliver, you are being ridiculous!
Are you listening to yourself?
Most fathers only care about money
Thank you! I now have a reason to spend my money alone.


Oliver, I didn't mean it that way
Women and money! Can I say all ladies are gold diggers?
You have no justification for saying so?
But your earlier comment gives me enough justification.


That is generalization! It is unacceptable
Double standards! Isn't that what you are doing?
I am generalizing because most fathers are irresponsible
What percentage of fathers in the world are irresponsible?


Oliver! I do no know.
If you do not know, do not speak
Just imagine what is being discussed when three men meet
We only discuss the troubles ladies put us through.



Oliver!
So can I get my "Happy father's day" felicitations?
Okay! Happy Father's day
Thank you!
