Rad Dad!

We are on a rescue mission...

I just rescued one from my recent past, written for a colleague who claimed he's a radical dad - we renamed him "Rad Dad" ...

He hides she seeks, He shouts she shrieks ...
There in the rush from the chaotic freaks !
there's a mad racket, they love the noise,
And when Mom comes along, they quietly poise.
He's her buddy, who's wacky, wild and mad,
A Rad Dad - the best a daughter could have had!

He's the pony, for his princess to ride,
She strokes him kindly and gleams in pride.
But a mild pinch and the pony and she fall,
And to Mom they say, "Nothing happened at all!"
He's her buddy, who's wacky, wild and mad,
A Rad Dad - the best a daughter could have had!

Now a kid, next a teenager, later a father -
He's in her times. Just as old as her rather!
In all her many moods, steady to whimsical,
Mom is usually rational and Dad is radical !
He's her buddy, who's wacky, wild and mad,
A Rad Dad - the best a daughter could have had!
