Wonderland or Not

thank you dear dad
for being around
kee­ping your dis­tance
while kee­ping me groun­ded
for teaching me I was
as good as sweet Josh
for two weeks back­pac­king
in Gla­cier Natio­nal Park
for han­ging shy of par­si­mo­nious
for kee­ping me nou­rished
my surroun­dings har­mo­nious
I thank you for never
giving me a doll
and for never exhor­ting
a Purity Ball
