5624 - Louis Louis

It’s my son Louis’ birthday, just one day 
After my own. Should I give him a ring?
I think I might, otherwise some might say 
I’m not being nice enough, though parenting 
Hardly applies now that he’s swift heading 
Towards his mid-thirties. He hasn’t tried
Very hard given his age to get in
To the spirit of Christmas or abide 
By birthday expectations or provide 
Sincere good wishes, gifts on my birthday 
No effort or money was forthcoming 
At times it can come across as just snide
Quite tired though and tempted to just lay
Down a while, listen to podcasts, snoring 😃
