I know you were happy when the news got out;
I don't know if it was because it meant
You got a son, after all,
Or because you were losing a daughter.
Perhaps you were glad for Cindy
And saw the future, with a grandchild
And mortgages and refrigerators
And I still don't see the point
Or the joy in buying appliances
But I do appreciate your willingness
To share your experience with boats and California
And the semi-tropical streets of New Orleans
And red beans and rice
And the ever evolving lakehouse
And all the gadgets and perks
Of being your son-in-law
Which surely flows from
The fact that I married my favorite Sicard
But that doesn't mean I didn't get a package deal
That compounded the interest.
It was a good deal.
