Dad began by saying he couldn’t wait to talk
To us and we didn’t have much time
How he was glad we had a few minutes left
And we were gonna make it prime
To me, he said son there are things that were
Communicated today that we have to address
How everyone understands things aren’t as pleasant
As they could be but we still have to do our best
He wants us to have a powwow
For DU said things that doesn’t lead to productivity
So tomorrow after school grandma would call and we’d
Hook-up on my cellphone so we could talk, just him and me
But for our last few minutes we crammed our
Whole weekly meeting into the few minutes we had left
We finished our get-together talking about happier
Times and let tomorrow take care of itself
After school the next day I eagerly awaited grandma’s
Connection as I anticipated what dad had to say
Then all of a sudden, we were connected and stoked
To talk about the things DU sought to convey
To my horror dad immediately cut into me with
When you communicate with your uncle, you have to think it through
Trust me there is a way around this, I know…
For I’ve known him far longer than you
