Cooking for Dad

My father had come to stay,
For eleven days,
He has so many charming ideas,
And some peculiar ways.
He has very simple tastes,
And a similar outlook,
He is a fussy person to feed,
So simple fair I tried to cook.
Until one night I cooked spaghetti,
His comment changed my mood,
"It's wonderful what you can do,
With a can of old dog food."

Dad likes to say stuff like that. He does have simple tasted and I must admit that the sauce did look a bit like dog food. I thought his comment was funny, but a lot of people would have taken it the wrong way.
