Having read two other responses to the FOWC challenge “austere”, I couldn’t help joining in.
Here in Australia, today was Father’s Day so this one’s for Dad.
I know of a chap with a beard who some think to be rather austere. But his jokes are well told, his wordplay’s quite bold and The Mikado he’ll sing without fear.
You have a great dad. I enjoyed the poem.

I hope he gets to see this. I don’t think there is any better gift than spending our time and creativity on loved ones. Brilliant sentiment.

Papa Worms will be proud! 😂
It isn’t Aust ‘ere,
it’s called Oz,
and the reason were
proud is because,
we like our beer
‘ere in Aust, ‘ere,
that’s why we’re here,
‘ere in Oz.

it’s a lovely tribute: you have some of his characteristics: sense of humour, love of word play though you haven’t adumbrated that you can sing passages from ‘The Mikado’ 🙂

Lol. Adumbrated! Another new word. John, you are a dictionary…
As for Mikado… I know snippets but I don’t have Dad’s confidence or pizzazz. 😁
