Sonnet 8.1

Your father is the tonic of a chord,
of which the third would be the child whom you
insist to him your pleasures can't afford,
despite the fact this note is overdue.
And in the absence of a third, how can
there be a fifth, affirmed within the laws
of geniture as crucial to the plan ?
Without your son, his grandson has no cause.

Since all my other arguments have met
with no consideration on your part,
I offer you this new one, and will let
time tell if it will do to change your heart:
Without the chords supporting harmony,
accord descants into cacophony.

Thanks again and best regards
David Halitsky
