"So," they say, "nobody's perfect!"
But the Vinedresser won't buy that.
Given the opportunity, He will trim the unproductive suckers and shape the branches so each one will bask in Sonlight.

Hey Dad, What's This Father's Day Thing All About?

This might be yer day, dad, but don't ya ... ... work yer tail off fer the wife 'n kids more'n just once a year? ... fix stuff fer 'em more'n just once a year? ... Take out their garbage more'n just once a year? ... referee the kids more'n just once a year? ... discipline 'em more'n just once a year? ... patch 'em up when they're hure more'n just once a year? ... praise their efforts (and not only for the kids!) more'n just once a year? ... encourage 'em (mom too!) when they're down more'n just once a year? ... go ta bat fer 'em more'n just once a year? ... put 'em before yer personal gratification more'n just once a year? ... sacrifice yer toys fer their needs more'n just once a year? ... sacrifice yer ambitions b'cause ya love 'em more'n your own life every single day?
If ya don't, ya got no right callin' yerself FATHER! But if'n yer a father every day, EVERY DAY IS FATHER'S DAY. ENJOY IT!
