Song of the Month

To the tune of ‘Yankee Doodle’:

Daddy has been noticing,
That you don’t pay attention,
If you do not heed your Dad,
You’ll be to dumb to mention,

CHORUS:
If your Daddy says some thing;
Yes you need to hear it!
He doesn’t talk to hear himself;
You really better hear it!


It’s not really very hard,
To listen to your Father,
Whose words are the very stuff,
To save both time and bother!

CHORUS

For the boy who listens up:
Delightful Celebration,
But for that one who does not,
Disgraceful condemnation!

CHORUS

If you cannot remember,
The words that I’ve recited,
You will be most straightened up,
and have your flight quite righted!

Irony is your strongpoint.

Daddy has been noticing,
That you don’t pay attention,

You point out that the child who does not heed his father ends up being (sic) to dumb to mention, which is in and of itself a sign of irony. Used in the context you were attempting to use the word, too should be spelled as I have in this sentence, not to as you have it spelled.

Let me suggest that you should have listened more to your father.

Additionally, your capitalization is inconsistent and incorrect by conventional grammatical standards.

This is a further sure sign you should have listened more to your father.

(A) I only point out that the particular child that is the muse of the song would be to dumb to mention for not listening to his Father.

(B) In my particular case, the grammer employed in the song is more likely a result of some direct listening to my Father's sometimes slurred speech, rather than not doing so.

Both of which bring me to my reccomendation:

(C) Other Fathers must make thier own determinations when deciding to employ the song. One may want to objectively consider the true value of one's thought. In my case, it is quite astronomical.
