The House of Professor Chen--A Father's Day Poem from Victor

Unlike Taiwanese who celebrates Fathers' Day on August 8, the American celebrate on June 21. My son Victor sent me a poem for celebration. This poem takes the tune of "The House of the Rising Sun", my favor song in the U.S. Here is the poem:

There is a man in Appleton,
They call Professor Chen
And yes, he is, the proud father, of two boys who have now, become, two men.

Victor is the oldest son.
He wants his Ph.D.
He hopes, to fin-ish all of his dissertation,before he turns thirty-three.

His other son is Leo Chen
And dad once bought him a drum,
He teaches like his old ba-ba,
Except his kids are dumb.

So summer's here, our father is on break.And tennis, and golf, he will play.
We wish, him well, and many, fun times
And a Happy Father's Day.
