Writer's Cramp entry 22OCT20
Communication breakdown with a 14-year-old girl.


I felt for years a good father I'd be,
Until my teenage niece once stayed,
I imagined magical times of glee,
I felt for years a good father I'd be,
But binoculars couldn't make her see,
Sometimes make-believe can abrade,
I felt for years a good father I'd be,
Until my teenage niece once stayed.
