"Pop" -- a Poem for dVerse Quadrille
Pop
Pop was a nice old guy
But meaner than any
devil, angel combined
He was loving to some
Was Mister Good Fellow
to his wife and Daughters
Mean and tough with his boys
boxed their ears they cried not
Dual personality
wasn't publicized

This is an interesting one... never even thought of "pop" in this context - nicely done! Thank you for sharing!
I never thought of pop that way either. Those poor boys. It makes you wonder how he was treated as a child.
Lived next door.
I think many people are different behind closed doors.
Interesting. I have certainly heard about people like that.
I don't think I like "Pop". Interesting the way the perspective or personality changes.
Too bad you got your ears boxed. Not too much fun for sure! Interesting poem!

Pop has a public face and a private face. What a shame.
Wow... That's so hard :(
Much love,

Oh My! I am reading Andre Agassi's autobiography now. His father was a monster in every possible way. Your quadrille reminded me of him. (No, the images in my quadrille were cut from a decorating site.)
Sad what some kids have to endure ❤️
