To our wonderful dad – so sublime
To honour this memorable time
We wanted to say
In our unique way
How special you are in a rhyme<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Lincolnshire born and bred
A humble young life it was led
His time was spent most
In farming and post
Or walking that pram out instead!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A great tennis player was he
And Rugby, it brought him such glee
The games played for laughs
The fags, sweaty baths
And trips to the town\u2019s A&E!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He started at Wiggin and Co
Where soon his career it would grow
This lawyer of ours
Shook-hands with some stars
Then went on to run his own show<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So much to the business he brought
Respected and so highly thought
But one thing\u2019s for sure
With tech skills so poor
Thank god for his PA\u2019s support!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Passions, he has quite a few
The theatre and golf are just two
A tough Harley man
Yet big rom-com fan
A wide range of interests, it\u2019s true!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some traits they are truly unique
Like walking in shorts when it\u2019s bleak
Or making it known
Our veg is home grown
And reading 4 books in a week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most loving dad you could find
So patient, supportive and kind
School drop-off shifts
And 2am lifts
Whatever the task, he\u2019d not mind<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While driving the school run commute
He\u2019d sing to Jive Bunny en route
The sound in our ears
Could bring us to tears
If only we knew how to mute!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ve loved hiking Lake District\u2019s sights
And watching those Gleneagles Kites
From Italian sun
And Disneyland fun
To watching our Cherry and Whites!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A grandpa that Sam just adores
They both love their walks and explores
From jumping in brooks
To Pegga Pig books
And simply \u2018chillaxing\u2019 indoors<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most laid-back man there could be
He\u2019ll chat to a stranger or three
Whatever life throws
Our dad always knows
\u201cIt\u2019s all part of life\u2019s tapestry\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So without any further ado
A message from Jo and Al too
We\u2019d like to say cheers
To 70 great years
And thanks Dad, for just being you<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
