Yardley aftershave
and Old Spice
he smoked
Chesterfield cigarettes
and Old Golds
he drank
Duquesne Beer
at The Elks Club
and the Knights of Columbus
sometimes he was
on the wagon
my dad liked
iced coffee
in his smoking jacket
he liked
limburger cheese
and bleu cheese
and dijon mustard
he told me he was
a drummer, but I never heard him play
a singer, but I never heard him sing
he was an actor and director
in the local theater group.
he went to Hollywood once,
but came home after two weeks
