Semi-Serious XM

Dad, I like you
and I’m also like you.

We share all of your worst
qualities, you and me.

Terrible taste in women,
if “taste” is even

the word for it.
Good judgment, in general,

a total lack thereof.
Cigarettes, etc.

But, no one has to teach us
the lyrics to “Convoy,”

we’ve got that shit down.
So, we crashed the gate doing 98

saying’ “Let them truckers roll,
10-4.”

They could teach us other things
but, no one needs to teach

us the lyrics to “Convoy.”
Although, Pop, you know

pick a key
and let’s try

and stick with it.
