"Father"

Sometimes I wonder...
when did I become my father.

The things I use to hate to hear...
now I utter them to my kids.

Actions I swore I would never make...
those same actions now I take.

When did I morph into the man...
who I said I would never be like.

Not 100% the same...
yet, somehow, more than 0%.

I guess all those times he asked if I was listening...
well, dad, I guess I was.

'Cause those endless lectures...
well, I must have memorized them.

Those silly to me then phrases...
I guess I stored them somewhere in my brain.

So as to not go on and on, I merely state...
"Pull my finger."
