To My Late Father Poem by Boghos Artinian

To My Late Father



I wish you had been here to see

your friend Fox reach a hundred.

He ate little while you gobbled food,

he breathed clean air while you smoked,

he worked little while you toiled hard,

he read magazines while you delved into

Shakespeare and de Balzac,

he socialized while you shunned folk;

he lived'half a life' of one hundred

while you lived a full fifty eight years!
