Hi grassy,
worked well for me. I don't watch Sopranos, but know enough about it to
appreciate the poem.
Cheers,
Frank

>My father would have liked The Sopranos.
>Not that he was a great family man,

>He knew you had to raise your fist

>never acknowledge past violence -
>It was a told story, passing into legend,
>not real any more. A story about Jupiter,
>
>Jovian, jovial, something to be chuckled about,
>a fable of what a man must do
>in the face of fate. So it was woven
>
>into the tapestry, the colours fading
>on every viewing. My father appreciated
>dark humour. He worked at night. He did
>
>the shifts and liked the freedom.
>He had another life behind the scenes.
>He would have sympathised with Tony,
>
>shared a drink or two, a joke.
