“did superman really want to save the world,
or did he just feel like he had to?
would he much rather be a farmer?
maybe.
would he much rather
be hanging out with his dad and his mom and his dog?
probably.”

happy father’s day
to supermen, roosters, children, and farmers, all.
Yum, Farm fresh – love it.
As an aside I just did a guest post over at Mark Bialczak’s and I would be honored if you had the time to drop by. Thank You. https://markbialczak.com/2016/06/19/janices-bicyle/comment-page-1/#comment-80839

That little rooster looks just like my Speckles. Many communities have outlawed roosters, as if they want to create a famine. I suspect the factory food farmers are behind it. By the way, the cover story on Mother Jones’ June issue is about factory chicken farming and antibiotics.

Great post, Beth. I think Superman and fathers probably start out with great intentions and a want-to attitude, but there are days when have-to is about the best they can muster. Fortunately, even “have-to” is good enough for honorable men who don’t complain about what they have to do. Another word for such fathers is “Hero.” I was blessed with such a Dad.

I like how you expressed this, Beth. It held a lot of truth within this. hugs and happy memories to those who had close relationships and those who didn’t hope they had a great uncle, friend, neighbor or someone who was their own personal Superman! 🙂

Great take on father’s day and what it means to be that guy who does it all. BTW, Will Reeves gave a rare interview last night in honor of his father, Superman and his mother. The reverence seemed genuine and he commented, “he was just another boy in the neighborhood.”

We just watched Spiderman, when he wanted to quit as a superhero and just be a dude. I get that. I think even superheroes need some PTO.
