Children understand him
And only this has kept intact
His pride and self-respect.
Otherwise he is a dry stream-bed
Living on memories
And an inadequate pension,
And the hospitality
Now given, revoked
Of his sons and daughters.
An old man, who must be humoured,
And sent to his room
When there are guests about,
But always to be relied on
To keep the children upstairs
Out of mischief.
Yes,
They understand him.
From man-roar, and friendly
Punches to the chest,
And damp kisses on scrubbed cheeks,
They sail to the harbour of his knees.
