My father, born under adventuresome Aries
was hard to please
Unlike Capricorn’s sure-footed mountain-goat.
When he had a great fortune he would gloat
A fortune, note, that we didn’t see
Next day he’d swear he would rather shovel shit in the Isle of Capri.
Mother had two words for him, and I agree
Ambitious, capricious

An entirely fictitious capricious father. Mine was born under Cancer and was far from capricious

It’s that expression about the Isle of Capri. I knew someone who used to say that. I’ve always wanted to use it

I married an Ariesian (is that a word?) so I know exactly how Mother feels! Up the Cancerians I say!
My fifty-five!
