Poetry Friday: My Father

My father,
the comedian,
the short fuse on a bomb
waiting
to explode.
The workhorse,
my companion.

The sage man at the top of the hill,
to whom I resort to for advice.

Because of him,
I try to emulate his jokes,
work hard,
and try to stretch that fuse
just a little bit more
for an extra second
before it explodes.
