She dropped the hand written note
Red ink on torn napkin
Double pleated
On the corner of her soup bowl
I don't like it
Hardly touched
Sodden through
When I cleared it away
A sad mess of pooled puree
And dry chicken
And smeared disappointment.
The next day
Instead of a peanut butter sandwich
I'd promised
I put two slices of sponge cake
Shop bought
In her backpack
For breakfast
For school
Convinced she'd love it
And found another note
When she came home.
Thanks.
You are the worst dad in the world.
