Fatherly Advice
by james bezerra
My oldest son Philip
spells his name ‘Fill-Up’
so I said, “Now son, listen up,
no one likes it when you spell Ryan
like ‘Rion’
or Adam like ‘Atom’.
People don’t like inventive
spelling; in fact it annoys them.
So don’t be creative,
don’t show initiative.
It doesn’t indicate charm,
and the ladies will not swarm.
In fact it makes ‘em
feel sorta sorry for you.
So just spell ‘Fill-Up’
like ‘Phillip’
and don’t ever try anything new.”
