By Mr Breakfast Fathers are getting a real screw-job. According to Hallmark Consumer Research, Americans sent 49 million more Mother's Day cards than Father's Day Cards in 2004. As a top card-giving holiday, Father's Day traditionally ranks 4th, behind Mother's Day in 3rd place. According to an AT&T press release, calling volume for Father's Day falls beneath both Mother's Day and Christmas. And where does Father's Day rank #1? It's the heaviest day for collect calling. In his article "Eating Out For the Holidays", Robert Ebbin reveals that nearly 40% of respondents in a Restaurants USA study reported eating out on Mother's Day. Less than 25% of respondents reported doing the same on Father's Day. No disrespect to the mothers of the world, but it's time to even the slate. When the third Sunday of June rolls around this year, it's time to give dad the royal treatment. He should get a phone call and a card, for sure. But most important of all, it's time for...

By Mr Breakfast My old man won't pass the syrup He pretends it isn't there "Pop", I say, "just pass the syrup" All he does is smile and stare He passed the pancakes on their plate He passed a sausage link But my old man won't pass the syrup All he does is smile and wink "This?" he asks with juice in hand Syrup - he knows it's not "That?" he points to his own nose He knows that isn't what I want He helped me pass my driver's test He passed to me his genes He passes me a dollar bill Each week I keep my bedroom clean He let it pass the time I swore! He passes me advice! But darned if he won't pass the syrup! I won't ask, Pop, more than twice Arrrgggh! I like maple syrup I like it a lot Wish in one hand - spit in the other You've got to deal with what you've got I start to eat my pancakes plain (grumble)... Hark! What should appear? All this time the maple syrup Was right behind my ear Very funny, dear old dad Just keep on laughing, guy We'll see who laughs on Father's day We'll see who's laughing at your tie... from a garage sale Ahhh... but in the end, you bought the syrup And the mix than made the (pan) (hot) cakes There are families that don't even have griddles I guess that I should tell you thanks So thank you dad for breakfast! Now let's dig in! Could you pass the bacon? (pause) Here we go again!
