    Being a father
    Is quite a bother . . .
    You improve them mentally
    And straighten them dentally, . . .
    They’re no longer corralable
    Once they find that you’re fallible . . .
    But after you’ve raised them and educated them and
    gowned them,
    They just take their little fingers and wrap you around
    them.
    Being a father
    Is quite a bother,
    But I like it, rather.
    Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
