My father hovered over the Yorkshire pudding and the beef: a peddler, a hawker, a merchant and an Indian chief. /// for every well characterized man the woman becomes good Dame and for every well characterized woman the man becomes good Knight! ///

Each word is understood well. Father's talk motivates nicely to a child. The thread of relationship is understood. A person should leave greed and accept peace in life. An amazing poem is well penned.

My father hovered over the Yorkshire pudding and the beef: a peddler, a hawker, a merchant and an Indian chief. Agreat poem. tony

Situations are still the same on American roads

A very interesting poem indeed

I am not sure what to say about this poem, but my thoughts, I would say, are similar to those of poet Luis Estable. The best lines of the poem that I loved are: 'Each night at home my father was in love with maps while the radio fought its battles with Nazis and Japs'. Congratulations on achieving the honor of 'Modern Poem of the Day'!
