EWell A child arrived Gjust the other day

Dhe was talkin 'for I knew it and as he culd he said :
&Gquot;I'm gonna be Elike you dad
Gyou know I gonna be just like yEou"

Ewhen you commin' home dad, &Gquot;I dont know when
Dbut we'll have a good time tEhen

Enow I retierd my sGon moved away
AI called him up juEst the atoher day
EI said "son I'd like to seeG you if you dont mind
Ahe said " I love to dEad If I culd find the time
Dmy new jobs a hazzle and my kid's got the flue

and as DI hung up the phone it occurred to me
