HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD

His ego is appalling -
A trait I’m sure I inherited
Perfect, he’s nowhere near
Patient, let’s give him a cheer
Yours truly, your witty daughter

Battled with us teens, kudos to you
Inflamed by ours harsh words
Ridiculously, you (still) smile
Tears, I’ve (accidentally) seen them
Heartbroken when we chose wrong
Damn, yet you encouraged(!)
Asian dads are scary
Yeah whatever, mine’s nowhere near

Day and night
Appreciated? Never. Sorry,
Dad this one’s for you
