DAD PICASO AND ME (Additananal Stanza)

One day on the tely
Thear were this 
Doco on Picaso
I just could not
Undestand!
Luckaly dad were
Home from work
That evening
Luckaly for me!

 

Dad were a working man
Leveing schol at fourteen
In what referd to as the hungrey thertys
He were intelgant, had the times been difarant
Then dad could of gone to a gramor school the on to unerverserty
But they were as they were, all children were needed to earn a Liveing, for the familys sake, his dad, been out work for nine years
Dad's intelagane natral, took an interst in all subjekes!

 

I said, to dad:

 

'' I just do'nt understand, that Picaso paintings, dad! ''
Quick in a flash, dad, had a pece of paper and pencil!

The began to draw as he, dad, were, Picaso, him self!
As dad dawd, dad, explind, each stroke of the pencil!
It were long before I understood - not just Picaso,

Darly anal I did that! Cubisam, pop art, suricam and
All there were in art to understand!!!!
But crap, con art, is still so mutch crap, all the same!

Thanks dad, mate.

This is a warm memory with a lot of heart. The voice is casual and affectionate, and the image of your dad grabbing a pencil and immediately drawing like Picasso is lovely. That moment, where the lesson becomes hands-on instead of abstract, is the real core of the piece. The spelling and grammar are part of the charm, giving it a spoken, unhurried feel. The ending's jab at con art is a fun turn, but it arrives a little quickly. A bit more detail about what dad actually drew, or what clicked for you, would make the memory even more vivid. Still, the gratitude shines through.

It's good that he was able to explain it to you. I just go by what looks good to me and try not analyze it too much. I enjoyed this little memory Ken.
