MVP
After seeing blank pages, the teacher pointed his finger
Dad pointed another finger back
That night dad was named MVP of the basketball championship
That night a bitter teacher called the house
Insisted on speaking to Popop about the finger
As Dad says, no one bothers Popop at home
At home with trophy in hand, Dad received a blow to the face
Someone had bothered Popop at home
Dad ran under the kitchen table to wait it out
Nana begged, “Bill just don’t hit him in the face”
Popop calmed down, Dad came out from under the table
The beating minor
The next day at school Mr. -- finally received some written words from Dad,
“If you ever call my house again you are a dead man.”
Lesson learned.
